Jīyabhedabattīsī (जीयभेदबत्तीसी) is the name of a work by Dharmaghoṣasūri dealing with the Karma section of Jain Canonical literature.—The Jīyabhedabattīsī (in Prakrit) 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.—The Jīyabhedabattīsī is a highly technical typology of living beings is no exception. The style is terse in the form of lists or catchwords (close to niryuktis and bhāṣyas in their most extreme conciseness) and the metrical pattern does not seem to be strict. The use of itara is a device to include an additional category (X / what is other than X); lists are often summarized with ādi rather than being given in full. In several cases alternate classifications are proposed. For other expositions of this topic see, for instance, Pravacanasāroddhāra section 214. the inspiring source is the Jīvājīvābhigama (upāṅga) which is devoted to the typology of living beings based on a number of criteria.

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.
