__ श्री श्रेयांसनाथ के माता-पिता सिंहपुरी की रानी वैष्णवी और राजा विष्णु थे। उनके पुत्र के रूप में उनके जन्म फालगुण शुद्ध त्रयोदशी के दिन हुआ। कुछ वर्षों तक ऐहिक जीवन को व्यतीत कर उन्होंने समस्त कर्मों से मुक्ति पायी
और माघ शुद्ध तृतीया के दिन केवल ज्ञान पाया । अर्हत होकर ग्यारहवें तीर्थङ्कर के रूप में प्रकट हुए। इसके पश्चात एक शुभ दिन में उनके निर्याण हुआ।
68 SHRI SREYANSANATHA SWAMY
Shri Shryensanathaswamys is the 11th of the Tirthankaras. His parents were King Vishnu and Queen Vaishnavi of Simhapuri (city of the Lion). Having led a material life for some time Shri Shreyansanatha Swamy gave it up in favour of monkhood on a Phalguna Shuddha Trayodasi (corresponding to the thirteenth day in the waxing phase of the twelfth month in the lunar calendar). After having been freed thus of the effects of Karmas, Shri Shreyansa Natha Swamy obtained Kavalajnana on a Magha Shuddha Thadiya (corresponding to the third day in the waxing phase of the eleventh month in the lunar calendar), and became an Arhantha. He was the 11th of the Tirthankaras. He gave up his physical body on an auspicous day.
