Born in Rajgriha to King Sumitra and Queen Padmavati, Munisuvrat Swami belonged to the Harivansh dynasty, the same lineage as Lord Krishna. His birth was marked by auspicious signs and a deep sense of peace, inspiring the name Munisuvrat, meaning "vow of a sage." In a previous life, he was King Vajrayudh, who renounced his kingdom and practiced intense penance, earning the karmic merit to become a Tirthankar. He attained Keval Gnan under a black plum (jamun) tree, and his teachings emphasized self-restraint, truthfulness, and spiritual discipline. His symbol (laanchhan) is the tortoise, representing steadfastness and inner strength.

He attained moksha at Sammed Shikharji, guiding countless souls on the path of liberation.
