Poem in two parts devoted to the lives of two teachers of the Gujarati lonkāgaccha: 1) on Junior Varasiṃgha VS 1589 – VS 1662, but the text does not provide any date.

Took initiation under Lālajī in Sirohi. Became leader of the group (gacharāya, 190v15). Died in Sojhata, 191r5). All this is in agreement with evidence from other sources.

context information

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.
