Kunthunath was the seventeenth Tirthankara, sixth Chakravartin[3] and twelfth Kamadeva of the present half time cycle, Avasarpini.[1][4] According to Jain beliefs, he became a siddha, liberated soul which has destroyed all of its karma. Kunthunatha was born to King Surya (Sura)[1] and Queen Shridevi at Hastinapur[3] in the Ikshvaku dynasty on the fourteenth day of the Vaishakh Krishna month of the Indian calendar.[4]
