Kunthunatha

Kunthu means heap of Jewels. ==Life==

According to the Jain belief, he was born in 27,695,000 BC. His height is mentioned as 35 dhanusha. Like all other Chakravartin, he also conquered all the lands and went to write his name on the foothills of mountains. Seeing the names of other Chakravartin already there, he saw his ambitions dwarfed. He then renounced his throne and became an ascetic for penance. At an age of 95,000 years he liberated his soul and attained Moksha on Mount Shikharji. Kunthanatha is said to have been born 1/2 palya after his predecessor, Shantinatha. His successor, Aranatha, is said to have been born 1/4 palya less 6,000 crore years after him. ==Famous Temple==
