Candanamalayāgarīcaupaī (चन्दनमलयागरीचौपई) is the name of a work by Bhadrasena dealing with the lives of Jain teachers.—The Candanamalayāgarīcaupaī (in Old Hindi) 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 Candanamalayāgarīcaupaī is made of five chapters. [...] Several tellings of this story are known: anonymous version in Old Gujarati published in Prācīn Jaina Rāsa Sāhitya, ahmedabad, 1985: 43-82; Old Gujarati version by Kesara Kavi (Bl cat. no. 792, or. 15289), version composed by Muni Kalyāṇa Kalasa in VS 1819 used in Goyal, Rājasthān Premākhyān Paramparā and pancholi 2005: 86-87 with reference to illustrated manuscripts. There is a key-verse which is found almost identical in all the versions, stating the main theme of the story, namely separation: ([...] 10 ǀǀ, 4r10) here; see Goyal p. 96, anonymous version p. 63, quotation of Kesara Kavi’s version Bl cat.). The anonymous version is more Jain in character than the present one, which is not marked by religious details.

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.
