Lord Ajitanātha
The second Tīrthankara, Lord Ajitanātha, was born as 50 lakh crore sāgaropama and 12 lakh pūrva passed after the birth of Lord Rşabhanātha. Lord Ajitanātha was born in the town of Sāketa, on the tenth day of the bright half of the month of Māgha - māgha śukla daśami – to Queen Vijayā and King Jitasatru. He was the source of invincible power on this earth to His kinship, hence the name Ajita - the invincible.
His height was 450 dhanusa.
After spending 18 lakh pūrva as youth (kumārakāla), Lord Ajitanātha ruled His kingdom for 53 lakh pūrva and 1 pūrvānga (rājyakāla). The time period of Lord's renunciation (samyamakāla) was 1 lakh pūrva minus 1 pūrvānga.
Lord Ajitanātha lived for 72 lakh pūrva and attained liberation (nirvāṇa) from Sammeda śikhara on the fifth day of the bright half of the month of Caitra - caitra sukla pañcami.
Chief among His Apostles (gañadhara) was sage Simhasena Svāmī.
May Lord Ajitanātha be my Guide.
Lord Sambhavanātha

The height of Lord Sambhavanātha was 400 dhanuşa.
