present 5 digamber saints
Here are five respected Digambar Jain saints (monks) commonly honoured in the tradition:
- Mahavira (Vardhamana) — 24th Tirthankar; central figure of Jainism in the Digambar lineage, known for his intense asceticism and teachings on right conduct, right faith, and right knowledge.
- Kundakunda — celebrated Acharya and philosopher-monk whose works (on Jain philosophy and ethics) are foundational in Digambara thought.
- Samantabhadra — renowned Acharya and spiritual teacher; author of key Jain texts and a major expositor of Jain doctrine in the Digambar tradition.
- Mallinath — 19th Tirthankar; highly venerated, with legendary deeds and teachings celebrated in Digambara devotional and scholarly contexts.
- Sambhavnath — 3rd Tirthankar; revered across Jain communities, including Digambaras, as one of the early revered teachers.
