In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IĀdīśvar (आदीश्वर्) or Ādīśvarastavana is the name of a work by Siṃhakuśala dealing with classical hymns and stotras from Jain literature.—The Ādīśvara-stavana (in Gujarati) 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 author [Siṃhakuśala] and his teacher, Dhanakuśala, probably belonged to the tapāgaccha. They do not seem to be mentioned in Jain gurjar Kavio.
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.
