The verse where he states his sectarian affiliation (vidhipakṣa = añcalagaccha), the name of his teacher’s teacher (Lalitasāgara), the date and place of composition (VS 1719 = 1662 CE, Śekhapura) is missing in this ms. he refers to the Āvaśyaka corpus (‘old commentary’) as the source from which he drew.
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.
