ज्ञातव्य है कि तीर्थंकर नामगोत्र का बंध मनुष्य भव में ही होता है और बंध होने से तीसरे भव में ५ वह निश्चित ही तीर्थंकर बनता है।

Elaboration Jnata Sutra contains description of repeated worship of y twenty sthanak (auspicious things) that lead to bondage of Tirthankar naam-gotra karma. These twenty sthanaks have been included in the sixteen bhaavanas (attitudes or sentiments) mentioned in Tattvarth Sutra (Chapter 6). Brief description of the nine great souls in the order of Bhagavan Mahavir mentioned in Tattvarth Sutra is as follows
(3) Udayi-He was the son of king Konik. Detailed story available in Trishashti Parishishta Parva, Chapter 6.
(1) Shrenik-Story of King Shrenik of Magadh is given in Niryavalika Sutra. His name also finds mention in many other scriptures. His complete biography is available in Trishashti Shalaka F Purush Charitra.
(2) Suparshva-He was Bhagavan Mahavir's uncle. No more details are available.
(4) Pottila Anagar-In Anuttaraupapatik Sutra there is a mention of Pottila Anagar. But this Pottila Anagar appears to be different. No details about him are available.
(5) Dridhayu-No details about him are available.
(6, 7) Shravaks Shankh and Shatak-Very brief details only about Shankh Shravak are available in Bhagavati Sutra (12/1 and 20-21).
(8) Shravika Sulasa-She was the wife of Naag, a charioteer of king Prasenjit of Rajagriha. She was a staunch practicer of Jain code of laity. She had 32 sons. Her story is available in the Vritti.
(9) Shravika Revati-She was one of the important Shravikas of Bhagavan Mahavir. When Goshalak launched Tejoleshya (fire-power) and Bhagavan Mahavir was hurt, it was she who had sent the medicine with Simha Anagar. More details are available in Bhagavati Shatak 15. All these nine persons will become Tirthankars in the coming Chaubisi (set of 24). (for details see Thanam, pp. 883-885). It should be noted that Tirthankar naam-karma can only be acquired as a human being and the soul, as a rule, becomes a Tirthankar in the third reincarnation from acquiring the bondage.
