According to the cited sources, Dharmanātha was born as the fifteenth Tirthankara of the current half-cycle (Avasarpini). Wikipedia states he was born to King Bhanu Raja and Queen Suvrata Rani at Ratnapuri in the Ikshvaku dynasty, his birth date recorded as the third day of the Magh Sukla month of the Indian calendar. Devotional/legendary material (HereNow4U) records a past-life identification as Siṃharatha, king of Bhaddilapura in east Videha, described there as valorous and ruling a vast empire.
The supplied sources do not include iconographic or detailed physical descriptions for Dharmanātha. The available extracts provide biographical and doctrinal information but no specific bodily attributes or iconographic conventions for this Tirthankara.
The sources record Dharmanātha's attainment of siddhahood — described as a liberated soul which has destroyed all of its karma — and his role as a Tirthankara (a saviour and supreme spiritual teacher who establishes a ford across saṃsāra). The provided materials do not enumerate additional miraculous deeds, specific supernatural powers, or discrete feats beyond his tirthankara status and the fragmentary past-life kingly biography.

Anantanātha
Anantanātha is the fourteenth Tīrthaṅkara of the present age (Avasarpini) in Jain tradition, a perfected spiritual teacher who became a siddha (liberated soul) after destroying all karma and whose role is to reveal the dharma and provide a ford (tīrtha) across saṃsāra.

Arihant
In Jain doctrine an arihant is a soul (jiva) that has conquered inner passions and destroyed the four inimical (ghātiyā) karmas, thereby attaining kevala jñāna (omniscience) while still embodied; on final shedding of remaining karma an arihant attains siddhahood (moksha).
Chakreshvari
Chakreshvari (also Chakreshwari or Apraticakra) is an attendant goddess (yakshini) in Jain cosmology who serves as the guardian or tutelary deity of the first Tirthankara, Rishabhanatha.

Gandharva

Garuda
Garuda is a divine, eagle-like being in South Asian traditions best known as the vahana (mount) of the god Vishnu. In Vedic, Purānic and later texts he appears as a powerful, solar-associated bird-personage who is both an individual mythic personality (son of the sage Kaśyapa and Vinatā) and an archetype invoked in temple iconography and theological metaphor.
Guardians of the Directions (Dikpāla / Lokapāla)
A class of deities or divine offices that guard and sacralize spatial directions in South Asian and some Southeast Asian religious cosmologies.
