Māllīnātha (Prakrit Mālliṇāha, "Lord Jasmine") was the 19th tīrthaṅkara "ford-maker" of the present avasarpiṇī age in Jainism.[1] Jain scriptures indicate Mālliṇāha was born at Mithila into the Ikshvaku dynasty to King Kumbha and Queen Prajâvatî.[2][1] Tīrthaṅkara Māllīnātha lived for 55,000 years, out of which 54,900 years less six days, was with omniscience (Kevala Jnana).[3]
According to Jain beliefs, Mālliṇāha became a siddha, a liberated soul which has destroyed all of its karma.[4] The Śvētāmbara Jains maintain that Mallinath was a woman, Mallibai.
