Ḍhaṃḍha (ढंढ) or Ḍhaṃḍhaṇa is the name of Kṛṣṇa’s son, according to the Ḍhaṃḍhaṇaṛṣisajjhāya by Jinaharṣa dealing with the lives of Jain teachers.—The Ḍhaṃḍhaṇaṛṣi-sajjhāya (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.—Accordingly, “Ḍhaṃḍha (Ḍhaṃḍhaṇa) was Kṛṣṇa’s son. As a monk he took the special vow (abhigraha) that he would accept only pure food, but could never get it (because of some previous hindering karma, antarāya-karma). [...]”.

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.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.

Ḍhaṃḍha (ढंढ) in the Prakrit language is related to the Sanskrit word: Ḍhaṇḍhaṇa.

context information

Prakrit is an ancient language closely associated with both Pali and Sanskrit. Jain literature is often composed in this language or sub-dialects, such as the Agamas and their commentaries which are written in Ardhamagadhi and Maharashtri Prakrit. The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
