    72 tirthankara list

    3 weeks ago 10

    Answer

    In Jain tradition, the “72 Tirthankaras” usually means:
    • 24 past Tirthankaras
    • 24 present Tirthankaras
    • 24 future Tirthankaras
    So the total becomes 72. ( msjs.org.au)

    If you want the commonly listed 24 present Tirthankaras, they are:

    1. Rishabhanatha
    2. Ajitanatha
    3. Sambhavanatha
    4. Abhinandananatha
    5. Sumatinatha
    6. Padmaprabha
    7. Suparshvanatha
    8. Chandraprabha
    9. Suvidhinatha
    10. Shitalanatha
    11. Shreyansanatha
    12. Vasupujya
    13. Vimalanatha
    14. Anantanatha
    15. Dharmanatha
    16. Shantinatha
    17. Kunthunatha
    18. Aranatha
    19. Mallinatha
    20. Munisuvrata
    21. Naminatha
    22. Neminatha
    23. Parshvanatha
    24. Mahavira ( s3.amazonaws.com)

    Explanation

    In ordinary Jain usage, people most often speak of the 24 Tirthankaras of the current time cycle. The idea of 72 comes from counting the 24 Tirthankaras of the past, present, and future together. ( msjs.org.au)

    Spiritual Understanding

    Tirthankaras show the path of liberation through right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct. Remembering their names is a way of cultivating reverence and staying connected with Jain Dharma. ( jainworld.jainworld.com)

    Takeaway

    If by “72 Tirthankara list” you mean the full traditional count, it is 24 past + 24 present + 24 future = 72. If you want, I can also give the full 72 list in a clean table format.
