    Certainly! In Jain tradition, specifically in the context of the Mūla Sangh (and also noted in some texts of the Śvetāmbara tradition), there is an important concept of the 79 Path Parampara (also called "79 Pattavali" or "Guruparampara") which traces the spiritual lineage of Jain sadhus (monks) beginning from Gautam Swami, the chief disciple of Lord Mahavira. This lineage signifies the unbroken transmission of monastic knowledge, discipline, and teachings.

    Below is a typical version of the 79 Path Parampara as preserved in Jain texts. There can be minor variations in the names and order depending on the tradition or the particular Pattavali used, but the core list remains similar.

    Note:

    • The lineage after the early Acharyas includes many repeated names, especially "Chandra"-prefixed names, because certain names were given in honor of earlier Acharyas within the tradition.
    • The actual list may slightly differ in Prakrit, Sanskrit or regional language sources, and sometimes the order or certain names may be substituted or omitted.
    • The tradition of reciting or remembering the 79 Path is particularly followed in the "Kharatara Gaccha" of the Śvetāmbara sect.

    If you want the names in Prakrit or another script, or if you need a more detailed explanation of any individual in the lineage, please let me know!
