Source: academia.edu: The epoch of the Mahavira-nirvanaKalpasutra’s Sthaviravali gives the guruparampara of Devardhi Kshamashramana who lived around 980-993 Mahavira nirvana era (209-196 BCE). The Jain council of Valabhi was held in 209 BCE under the leadership of Devardhi Kshamashramana and Jain philosophy and Siddhanta was written down in numerous treatises. In all probability, Bhadrabahu III was the author of Sthaviravali.

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.
