Notes on traditions:

• Śvetāmbara: Mothers of Tīrthankaras see 14 dreams (listed above).
• Digambara: Mothers see 16 dreams; along with the above, two more are included (commonly described as a divine throne and a pair of fish). Order and wording may vary slightly. The spiritual intent remains the same: the soul to be born will be supremely virtuous, world-guiding, and a future Tīrthankara.

These dreams are interpreted by learned elders as sure signs of the descent of a Tīrthankara-soul and are celebrated as part of Garbha‑Kalyāṇak.
