Padmaprabha was the sixth Jain Tirthankar of the present age (Avsarpini).[1] According to Jain beliefs, he became a siddha - a liberated soul which has destroyed all of its karma. Padmaprabha (also known as Padhmaprabhu swami) was born to King Shridhar Raja and Queen Susimadevi at Koushambi in the Ikshvaku clan.[1] His birth date was the twelfth day of the Kartik krishna month of the Indian calendar.
