In a former life he was a king in Mahavideh who took diksha and, through the aradhana of the twenty sthanak, bound the Tirthankar naam karma; he was then born as a dev in the higher devlok.
On Aso Sud Punam his soul came into the womb of Queen Vapra, wife of King Vijay of Mithila, and she saw the fourteen great dreams.
The tradition says that enemy kings had surrounded Mithila, but when the Prabhu came into the womb they bowed (nami) and made peace. So he was named Nami. His chinh is the blue lotus.
He was born on Ashadh Vad 8, and the Indras celebrated the janmabhishek on Meru.
After the Lokantik devs came to request him and a year of varshidaan, he took diksha on Jeth Vad 9 with a thousand kings.
He attained kevalgyan on Magshar Sud 11; the devs built the samavasaran and the fourfold sangh was set up.
On Chaitra Vad 10 Shri Naminath attained nirvan on Sammet Shikhar.
Kalri's derasar has a shrine of Shri Naminath Dada beside the moolnayak, Shri Shantinath Dada, and his kalyanaks are marked in the Kalri calendar.
