He belonged to the Jayamallagaccha of the Sthānakavāsin. He was born in VS 1812 (1755 ce), took dīkṣā in VS 1830, died in VS 1882 (1825 CE). His lineage was: Jemalajī—Rāyacaṃda, whose disciple he was. He pays homage to both of them in the final kalasa. He was the successor of Rāyacand as ācārya (cf. flügel, ‘Sthānakavāsī iii’ n. 138; Rājasthān kā Jain Sāhitya p. 185).
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.
