Aranath(Arnath) was the eighteenth Jain Tirthankar of the present half cycle of time (Avasarpini).[2] He was also the eighth Chakravartin[3] and thirteenth Kamadeva. According to Jain beliefs, he was born around 16,585,000 BCE. He became a siddha i.e. a liberated soul which has destroyed all of its karmas. Aranath was born to King Sudarshana and Queen Devi (Mitra) at Hastinapur in the Ikshvaku dynasty.[2] His birth date was the tenth day of the Migsar Krishna month of the Indian calendar.
