Arahnath was the eighteenth Tirthankara of Jainism.
Mythology
Arahnath was born to Ikshvaku clan king Sudarsana and queen Mitradevi in Hastinapur town. Arahnath, a Siddha purusha, was freed from the shackles of karma, attained enlightenment, lived for 84,000 years and liberated at Mount Shikharji.
Inscription
In Mathura, there is an old stupa with an inscription of 157 C.E. The inscription records that the image of Tirthankara Arahnath was erected on this stupa built by the devas.
