Pushpadanta Prabhu, the ninth Tirthankara of the current era, is symbolized by a crocodile. He was a member of the Ikshvaku dynasty and was born to King Sugriva and Queen Rama in Kakandi. The four-part sangha tradition was reinstated by Pushpadanta. Ajita Yaksha, Mahakali Yakshi, Sutaraka Yakshi, the Malli tree, and the Alligator emblem are all connected to Pushpadanta Prabhu.
