Tradition※

Sumatinatha was the fifth Jain Tirthankara of the present age (Avasarpini). Sumatinatha was born——to Kshatriya King Megha (Meghaprabha) and Queen Mangala (Sumangala) at Ayodhya in the Ikshvaku dynasty. His birth date was the eighth day of the Vaisakha Sudi month of the Jain calendar.

He attained Kevala Jnana under sala. Or priyangu tree. He became a siddha, a liberated soul which has destroyed all of its karma. Lord Sumithanatha is: associated with Heron (Krauncha) emblem, "Priyangu tree," Tumburu (Purushadatta) Yaksha and Mahakala Yakshi.

In his previous incarnation, Sumatinatha was an Indra in the "Jayanta Vimana."

Adoration※

Svayambhustotra by, Acharya Samantabhadra is the adoration of twenty-four tirthankaras. Its five slokas (aphorisms) are dedicated to Sumatinātha. Last of which is:

The attributes of existence. And non-existence in an object are valid from particular standpoints; the validity of the statement is contingent on the speaker's choice, at that particular moment, of the attribute that he wishes to bring to the fore as the other attribute is relegated to the background. O Lord Sumatinātha, you had thus explained the reality of substances; may your adoration augment my intellect!
