Guṇasāgarasūri (गुणसागरसूरि) is the author of the Ḍhālasāgara (dealing with Jain universal history such as the Jinas and related figures), which is (partly) 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.—Guṇasāgarasūri belonged to the vidyāgaccha and was the disciple of Padmasāgarasūri. Checking the manuscript against the edition confirms the identification, but, although the parts available in the manuscript are found in the edition., the succession and number of the ḍhālas do not correspond.

General definition book cover
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.
