(C) TIRTHANKARAS OF THE PAST AND FUTURE AGES (ĀRĀS)
Both the Svetambaras and the Digambaras believe that twenty-four Tirthankaras lived in the Utsarpini age preceding our present Avasarpiņi age and that an equal number will be born in the future Utsarpini following our present ārā. But the lists given by the two sects differ. The following were the Tirthankaras of the Past Utsarpini:
