67. श्री शीतलनाथ स्वामी
इसके पश्चात बद्दिलापुर के राजा धिनाथ और रानी नन्दादेवी के पुत्र के रूप में माघशुद्ध द्वादशी के दिन श्री शीतलनाथ स्वामी ने जन्म लिया । कतिपय वर्ष लौकिक जीवन व्यतीत करके माघ शुद्ध द्वादशी के दिन उन्होंने सन्यास की दीक्षा स्वीकार कर ली। उन्होंने कर्म छोड़कर पुष्य शुद्ध चर्तुदशी के दिन केवल ज्ञान प्राप्त किया। वे अर्हत होकर दसवें तीर्थङ्कर के रूप में प्रकट हुए। उनके निर्याण वैशाख शुद्ध द्वितीया को हुआ ।
67 SHRI SEETHALANATHA SWAMY
Shri Seethalanathaswamy is the 10th of the Tirthankaras. He was the son of King Dridhanatha and Queen Nandadevi of Baddilapura. The auspicious day of birth being Magha Shuddha Dvadasi (corresponding to the twelfth day of the waxing phase in the cleventh month of the lunar calendar). In order to be turned away from the earthly pulls, it was necessary that a person leads an earthly life for some time. Shri Seethalanathaswamy was no exception and so, after having spent material pleasures, he finally relinquished them to take the vow of Sanyasa on a Magha Shuddha Dvadasi (corresponding to the twelfth day in the waxing phase of the eleventh month in the lunar calendar). Having thus became freed from the effects of past karmas, Shri Seethalanathaswamy became a Kevalajnani and an Arhantha on a Pushya Shuddha Chaturdasi (corresponding to the fourteenth day in the waxing phase of the tenth month in the lunar calendar) and thus unveiled himself as the 10th of the Tirthankaras. the Nirvana (Supreme Bliss) occured on a Vaisakha Suddha Vidiya (corresponding to the second day in the waxing phase of the second month in the lunar calendar)
