Suparshvanatha
सुपार्श्वनाथ
Suparshvanatha — “Lord of beautiful sides” — is the seventh Tirthankara, born in Varanasi (Banaras) — the same sacred city that would later be the birthplace of Parshvanatha (the 23rd Tirthankara) and the Buddha.
His lañchana is the svastika (an ancient auspicious symbol used in Jain, Hindu, and Buddhist iconography across Asia, predating its 20th-century appropriations by more than two millennia). He reached mokṣa at Mt. Sammed Shikhar.
