Source: University of Cambridge: JainismNarakhittaviyāra (नरखित्तवियार) or “Reflection about the area of humans” [in the Jain universe] by Somatilakasūri, also known as Navyakṣetrasamāsa or Bṛhatkṣetrasamāsa. It is written in Jaina Māhārāṣṭrī Prakrit and has 388 verses. [... ] This cosmological work was composed around 1340 CE and belongs to the intermediate phase of Jain cosmological writings (compared to the earlier one represented by Jinabhadragaṇi, 6th century, and the later one represented by Vinayavijaya in the 17th century).
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.
