Antakṛddaśāvivaraṇa (अन्तकृद्दशाविवरण) contains Abhayadeva’s Sanskrit commentary on the eighth Aṅga of the Śvetāmbara canon, a narrative text in Ardhamāgadhī Prakrit, telling stories of various characters who “put an end” (anta-kṛt) to rebirths. Many of them belong to the time of the twenty-second Jina, Ariṣṭanemi, and some of them relate to the Kṛṣṇa cycle.

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.
