Source: Shodhganga: a concise history of Sanskrit Chanda literatureJayasiṃha (जयसिंह) or Jayasiṃha Siddharāja (1094-1143 C.E.) was a patron of Hemacandra (1088-1173 C.E.), the famous Jain author who has contributed a lot to the study of Sanskrit Prosody by way of writing his monumental work Chandonuśāsana. Hemacandra received the patronage of Jayasiṃha Siddharāja and his successor Kumārapāla of Anhilvid of Gujarat.
Chandas (छन्दस्) refers to Sanskrit prosody and represents one of the six Vedangas (auxiliary disciplines belonging to the study of the Vedas). The science of prosody (chandas-shastra) focusses on the study of the poetic meters such as the commonly known twenty-six metres mentioned by Pingalas.

He lived in the 15th century and is known as the author of a historical large poem, the Hammīramahākāvya, and of one of the few known representatives of the saṭṭaka genre (plays only in Prakrit), the Rambhāmañjarī.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IJayasiṃha (जयसिंह) or Jayasiṃhasūri is the name of a teacher belonging to the añcala-gaccha, according to the Añcalagaccha-paṭṭāvalī (dealing with Jain lineages history), 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: archive.org: Early History of the Andhra CountryThe grant of Jayasiṃha I who began to rule from 633 A.D., records that in his fifth year (638) he granted the village of Puloṃbūra in the Guddavāḍi viṣaya to Rudraśarman son of Śivaśarman and grandson of Dāmaśarman. In Mādhavavarman’s grant it is Śivaśarman son of Dāmaśarman that gets the same village. So it is clear that the Polamūru grant of Mādhavavarman is separated from the grant of Jayasiṃha by at least one generation.

When the latter began to weaken, taking the benefit of the situation, probably, Jayasiṃha might have declared his independence. His son was Raṇarāga, whose son was Pulikeśi (Pulakeśin) or Polekeśi I, the real architect of the realm. The history of Calukya kings begins with his accession to the throne.
Source: OpenEdition books: Vividhatīrthakalpaḥ (History)Jayasiṃha (जयसिंह) refers to one of the kings of the Caulukya (Cālukka) dynasty of Gujarat, as is mentioned in the Vividhatīrthakalpa by Jinaprabhasūri (13th century A.D.): an ancient text devoted to various Jaina holy places (tīrthas).—Accordingly, “Jayasiṃha killed King Khaṃgāra and in his place appointed the governor by the name of Sajjaṇa. [...] Jayasiṃha, king of Mālava gave a plot of 24 hāla ° to the temple superintendents. The master of Avanti (Jayasiṃha) granted a land of 12 hāla ° to the officiants of the god”.
Note: List of the eleven Caulukya kings of which Aṇahilapura was the capital: Mūlarāja, Cāmuṇḍarāja, Vallabharāja, Durlabha, Bhīmadeva, Karṇa, Jayasiṃha, Kumārapāla, Ajayapāla, Bālamūlarāja, Bhīmadeva.—According to Sankalia 1941 p.33, the testimony of the inscriptions confirms the account of the chroniclers (Prabandhacintāmaṇi 65.14-15; Purātanaprabandhasaṃgraha 34.3; Sukṛtakīrtikallolinī 100 v. 8): he quotes an inscription from Girnar (not published to his knowledge) mentioned by Bombay Gazetteers I p. 160.
It is difficult to specify the indication: historians recognize at least two Jayasiṃha, Paramāra of Mālava (up to four: Ray 1931). Moreover, Jayasiṃha could designate the sovereign Caulukya of Gujarat (ca. 1100-1143), who became master of Mālava (between 1134 and 1138: cf. JBBRAS XXV p. 322-324) and subsequently took the title of 'Avantinātha: cf. Sankalia 1941 p. 38-9 and IA XX “Dohad stone pillar inscription (1196 VS)” p. 158-160. In favor of the latter hypothesis, there is the popularity of King Jayasiṃha Siddharāja in the Jaina sources (Prabandhacintāmaṇi, Purātanaprabandhasaṃgraha, Prabandhakośa) and the mention in this passage of Bhāvaḍa’s Vividhatīrthakalpa: according to Struggle for Empire 1966 ( 11957) p. 76, Jayasiṃha wanted as successor Bhāvaḍa, son of Udayana, his minister.
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.
