77. श्री मुनिसुव्रत स्वामी
राजगृह का शासन राजा सुमित्र करते थे। उनकी रानी पद्मावती थी। इस दम्पति को पुत्र के रूप में ज्येष्ठ शुद्ध अष्टमी के दिन श्री मुनिव्रत का जन्म हुआ था । बारह साल लौकिक जीवन को बिताने के बाद फाल्गुन के कृष्णपक्ष के दिन उन्होंने सन्यास लिया । समस्त कर्म छोड़कर फाल्गुन शुद्ध द्वादशी के दिन कैवल्य ज्ञान प्राप्त करके अर्हत हुए और बीसवें तीर्थङ्कर के रूप में वे प्रकट हुए। ज्येष्ठ शुद्ध नवमी के दिन उनके निर्याण हुआ था।
