In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: University of Cambridge: JainismAbhayadevasūri (अभयदेवसूरि) refers to one of the 70 teachers mentioned in the Kharataragacchapaṭṭāvalī: a Sanskrit text listing the heads or pontiffs (sūri) of the Kharataragaccha, one of the most important Śvetāmbara monastic orders. The Kharatara-gaccha is especially rooted in Rajasthan. The text includes a narration of events in their lives (i.e., of Abhayadeva-sūri), and can thus be called a Kharataragacchapaṭṭāvalī
Abhayadevasūri is the author of the Vipākasūtravṛtti: a Sanskrit commentary on the eleventh Aṅga of the Śvetāmbara canon, the Vipākasūtra, a narrative work about the consequences of bad behaviours in the first part (śrutaskandha) called Duḥkhavipāka and those of good behaviours in the second part called Sukhavipāka. [...] Abhayadevasūri is one of the most famous Jain commentators. He lived in the 11th century and is known as navāṅgīvṛttikāra since he wrote a commentary on nine of the eleven Aṅgas of the Śvetāmbara canon.
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IAbhayadevasūri (अभयदेवसूरि) is the author of the Jayatihuyaṇastotra (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 hymn, commonly known as Jayatihuyaṇa on account of its first words, was composed by Abhayadevasūri, the famous commentator of nine aṅgas, as recalled by the commentary on the present text, in the 9th century CE.
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.
