Explanation

Jain time is beginningless and endless, moving through repeated cycles of:

• Utsarpiṇī – ascending time cycle
• Avasarpiṇī – descending time cycle

In every half-cycle, 24 Tirthankars appear in Bharata Kshetra. The commonly known Tirthankars beginning with Rishabhdev Bhagwan and ending with Mahavira Swami Bhagwan belong to the present Avasarpiṇī.

The list above refers to the previous time cycle, not the present one.

Takeaway

Jain Dharma teaches that Tirthankars appear again and again across infinite time cycles to re-establish the path of liberation through right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct.
