1) Jayaraṃga (जयरंग) is another name for Jaitasī: the author of the Dasagīta (dealing with the Mūlasūtra section of Jain Canonical literature) (in Gujarati), and 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.—In the final stanza of each chapter, the author introduces himself as Jetasī (var. Jaitasī), disciple of Punyakalasa (variant spellings: Pūnekalasa, Pūnyekalasa; Sanskrit form Puṇyakalaśa). He is also known as Jayaraṃga (see JgK), but this name is not used here. He belonged to the Kharataragaccha, Jinabhadrasūriśākhā. Here he only mentions his direct teacher. [...] Jaitasī also composed a similar work on the appendices (cūlikā) of the Daśavaikālikasūtra and a poem called Daśaśrāvakagīta based on the seventh aṅga, the Upāsakadaśāṃga. This shows his interest in keeping alive the canonical scriptures through change of media, both form and language, for new audiences.

2) Jayaraṃga (जयरंग) (alias Jaitasī) is the author of the Pārśvanāthastavana (dealing with Pārśva in Jain literature).

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.
