The poem gives biographical information about him: he lived in the town called Puṇḍarīka. His mother was Queen Satyakī. he married Rukamaṇī before taking initiation. His height was 50 dhanuṣ and his life-duration 84 00 000 pūrvas.

context information

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.
