In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: University of Cambridge: JainismJinavallabhasūri (जिनवल्लभसूरि) refers to one of the 70 teachers mentioned in the Kharataragacchapaṭṭāvalī: a Sanskrit text listing the heads or pontiffs (sūri) of the Kharataragaccha, one of the most important Śvetāmbara monastic orders. The Kharatara-gaccha is especially rooted in Rajasthan. The text includes a narration of events in their lives (i.e., of Jinavallabha-sūri), and can thus be called a Kharataragacchapaṭṭāvalī
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IJinavallabhasūri (जिनवल्लभसूरि) is the author of the Caritrapañcaka (dealing with Jain universal history such as the Jinas and related figures), 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.—Jinavallabhasūri (12th c.) from the kharataragaccha was both a prolific and learned monk who composed scholarly hymns, works on riddles, etc., and liked to give his name inside the final verse (using Vallaha or Jiṇavallaha). To some extent each of Jinavallabha’s poem is independent (no generic title). Sādhusomagaṇi unites them in his commentary (vṛtti) which quotes in full each Prakrit verse before explaining the literal meaning or elucidating also other points through the help of quotations from various texts.
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.
