Munipaticaritra (मुनिपतिचरित्र) is the name of a work which is similair to the Munipaticaritrasāroddhāra (narrating stories 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.—The Munipaticaritrasāroddhāra is like a Sanskrit prose rendering based on Haribhadrasūri’s Munipaticaritra (Williams 240-289 and 290-341) in Prakrit (composed VS 1172 = 1015 ce; Williams 12), with occasional amplifications.

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.
