Yaśobhadra was the founder of the saṇḍerakagaccha, a Śvetāmbara monastic order named after the village of Saṇḍerāv in Marwar. He was born in VS 957 and died in VS 1029 or 1039 (depending on the sources). Balibhadra became his successor (JgK 9, pp. 234-235).
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.
