General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IDharmadāsa (धर्मदास) or Dharmadāsagaṇin is the author of the Upadeśamālā (dealing with the Karma section of Jain Canonical literature), which 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.
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.
India history and geography
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection I (history)Dharmadāsa (धर्मदास) is the author of the Vidagdhamukhamaṇḍana (dealing with poetry and riddles), which 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.—This is the Sanskrit reference book on riddles of all types which are divided into categories (jāti) defined and illustrated by examples. Nothing certain is known about the author Dharmadāsa (7th century ?), who has been said to be a Buddhist, a Hindu or a Jain. [...] The margins are filled with observations in Sanskrit amounting to an unconnected commentary, without any introduction or conclusion. Several of them are however not legible because edges are torn. The commentaries are sometimes accompanied with explanatory diagrams (e.g. on 6v, 7r).
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
