Darśanajyotis (दर्शनज्योतिस्) is the name of a commentary on the Paṇhavāgaraṇa (Sanskrit: Praśnavyākaraṇa): the tenth Anga of the Jain canon which deals with the prophetic explanation of queries regarding divination.—According to the colophon, the commentary is called Darśanajyotis, which is otherwise known as Sāradattā. The concluding verses mention that Jīvabhogin composed the commentary by the grace of Devanandin. Hence, he was a junior contemporary, most probably a disciple, of the latter. If this Devanandin is the same as Pūjyapāda Devanandin the author of the Jainendravyākaraṇa and several Jain works, the commentator’s time cannot be later than the end of the seventh century.

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.
