Life

Sambhavanatha was the third tirthankara (omniscient Jain teacher) of the present age (Avasarpini).[1] He was born to King Jitārī and Queen Susena at Sravasti.[2][3] in the Ikshvaku dynasty.[1] His height was 400 dhanusa (1,200 meters).[2] Sambavanatha is associated with Horse emblem, Sala tree,[4] Trimukha (three-faced) Yaksha and Prajnapthi & Duritari Yakshi.[5]

According to Jain text Uttarapurāṇa, Sambhavanatha possessed three types of knowledge from birth.[6]

Prayer

Svayambhustotra by Acarya Samantabhadra is the adoration of twenty-four tirthankaras. Its five slokas (aphorisms) adore the qualities of Sambhavanātha.[7]

O Lord Sambhavanātha! The worldly life appears to be transient, without a protector, sullied with the blemishes of pride and delusion, and tormented by birth, old-age and death. You had helped worldly souls attain ambrosial happiness by ridding these of the karmic dirt.

— Svayambhustotra (3-2-12)[8]

gollark: Many more logic gates, some of which are useful.
gollark: There are probably weird ternary logic gates too.
gollark: They have a bit of a monopolies problem I heard, though probably faster connections in some places.
