General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection I1) Mānatuṅga (मानतुङ्ग) is the author of the Bhaktāmarastotra (dealing with classical hymns and stotras from Jain literature), which is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—This extremely popular hymn known and recited even today is dedicated to the first Tīrthaṃkara and also bears the titles Ādināthastotra, Ādināthastava. The Śvetāmbara recension has a total of 44 verses. Manuscripts of the Bhaktāmarastotra often have a specific esthetic value, as if to underline that the importance of the work is not only in its text. It has an almost magical value too and is followed here by another very popular and Tantric like hymn, the Ghaṇṭākarṇa Mahāvīra-stotra (cat. no. 309).
Mānutuṅga or Mānatuṅgasūri is also the author of the Pārśvanāthastotra .
2) Mānatuṃga (मानतुंग) is the name of a teacher belonging to the añcala-gaccha, according to the Añcalagaccha-paṭṭāvalī (dealing with Jain lineages history).
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.

Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
