There is one Tirthankara present at the same time ineach Bhärata and Airavata continent, thus 10 Tirthankaras arepresent in these 10 continents. Each continent of Mahävideha has32 territories, thus there are (5x32) =160 territories of 5Mahävideha continents. There are 160 Tirthankaras in Mahävidehaas there is one Tirthankara present in each territory. Thus there are(10+160) 170 Tirthankaras in all. In the present time cycle onlyduring Lord Ajitnath‟s, the second Tirthankara of our time all 170Tirthankaras were present.42. Shri Bhavana Devatä StutiSutra and Meaning:;xaf6x#1
