Kunthunath was the seventeenth Jain Tirthankar of the present age (Avasarpini).[1] According to Jain beliefs, he became a siddha, a liberated soul which has destroyed all of its karma. Kunthunath was born to King Shursen Raja and Queen Srirani Rani at Hastinapur in the Ikshvaku clan.[1] His birth date was the 14th day of the Vaishakh Krishna month of the Indian calendar.
