The Tirthankara
Exceptional souls who achieve liberation and teach the path to others.
Tirthankaras are rare beings who not only achieve liberation but also possess the special karma to teach the path. Mahavira was the 24th Tirthankara of the current cosmic cycle.
The Tirthankara builds the ford across the river of suffering.
Tirthankaras are the supreme teachers of Jainism.
