Clarification
If by “current existing one” you mean the present time cycle, then the above are the 24 Tirthankaras of the current avasarpini kaal.
If you mean the 24 Tirthankaras of the previous time cycle before the present 24, their names are different in Jain tradition, but they are not as commonly recited as the present 24 Tirthankaras.
