General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IKoṭhāri (कोठारि) or “Mahirāja Koṭhāri” is mentioned in the “Sumatisādhusūri nau vīvāhalau” (dealing with individual religious teachers in Jain literature), 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.—[...] Later on, in Idar (north Gujarat, vs. 63) lived one Mahirāja Koṭhāri who was well-considered by the local ruler king Bhāṇa, and his wife Māṇikadevi (64-66). Their sons Śrīpāla and Sahajapāla and Śrīpāla’s wife Suhavadevī (67-68) gave wealth and requested Lakṣmīsāgarasūri to grant the status of Sūri to the monk. The ceremony was performed. Sumatisādhusūri thus became the (54th) head of the tapāgaccha as successor to Lakṣmīsāgarasūri. [...]
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.
