King Kritvarma and Queen Shyama Devi of Kampilapur were both spiritualists and devotees of the Jina.  The queen one-day saw fourteen auspicious things in her dream and the augurs announced that she would give birth to a Tirthankar.  It was the pious soul that in its earlier birth was king Padmasen of Mahapuri town in Dhatakikhand and had descended into the queen's womb from the Mahardhik dimension of gods.

During her pregnancy the queen radiated a soothing glow.  Her temperament also became congenial, kind and generous.  When the child was born the whole atmosphere was also filled with a soothing glow.  Inspired by this spread of purity, the king names hi newborn son as Vimal (pure/untarnished).

In due course, prince Vimal Kumar became young, was married, and then ascended the throne.  After a long and successful reign he became a Shraman alongwith one thousand other kings and princes on the forth day of the bright half of the month of Magh.  After two years of spiritual practices he attained omniscience and established the religious ford.  Merak Prativasudev, Svayambhu Vasudev and Bhadra Baldev were his contemporaries.

Bhagavan Vimalnath got Nirvana at Sammetshikhar on the seventh day of the dark half of the month of Ashadh.
