Dharmaratnasaṃgrahaṇī (धर्मरत्नसंग्रहणी) is the name of a work by Abhayadeva dealing with the Prajñāpanāsūtra.—(Cf. Prajñāpanātṛtīyapadasaṃgrahaṇī).—[...] The third chapter of the Prajñāpanāsūtra, called bahuvaktavyatā, deals with the relative numerical strength of all substances and classes of living beings, a concept also known under the caption alpa-bahutva, which is extremely complicated and important (see nagin J. Shah’s introduction to the p., pp. 270-277). This has been summarized by Abhayadeva in 133 Prakrit gāthās in a work also known under the titles Dharmaratnasaṅgrahaṇī and Prajñāpanoddhāra (see Nagin J. Shah p. 426).

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.
