________________ 72. श्री धर्मनाथ स्वामी __रत्नपुरी का शासन भानु नामक राजा करते थे। उनकी रानी सुव्रता थी। उनके पुत्र के तौर पर श्री धर्मनाथ स्वामी का जन्म माघ बहुल तृतीया के दिन हुआ था। राज्य सुखों का अनुभव कुछ वर्षों तक करके माग शुद्ध त्रयोदशी के दिन सन्यास की दीक्षा में दीक्षित हुए। सारे कर्मों का विसर्जन करके वे पुष्य पूर्णिमा के दिन अहंत बने और पन्द्रहवें तीर्थकर हुए थे। बाद में उनके निर्याण जेष्ठ बहुल पंचमी को हुआ था। 72 SHRI DHARMANATHASWAMY The 15th of the Tirthankaras is Shri Dharmanatha Swamy. The city of Ratnapuri was then ruled by King Bhanu and Queen Suvratha. Shri Dharmanatha Swamy was born to this royal couple on a certain Magha Bahula Thadiya (corresponding to the third day in the waning phase of the eleventh month in the lunar calendar). After having spent the royal life for some years, he entered the order of Sanyasa on a Magha Shuddha Triyodasi (corresponding to the thirteenth day in the waxing phase of the eleventh month in the lunar calendar). Having transcended all earthly pulls and attachments, Shri Dharmanatha Swamy attained Kevalajnana and thus became an Arhantha on a certain Pushya Pournima (corresponding to the Full Moon day of tenth month in the lunar calendar). He thus became the 15th of the Tirthankaras. Shri Dharmanatha Swamy gave up his mortal body on a certain Jyestha Bahula Panchami (corresponding to the fifth day in the waning phase of the third month in the lunar calendar).
