General definition (in Jainism)

Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection I

Sādhusundara (साधुसुन्दर) or “Sādhusundara-vācaka” is the author of the Pārśvanāthastavana (dealing with Pārśva 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.—Sādhusundara-vācaka (17th c.) belonged to the kharataragaccha and was the direct pupil of Sādhukīrti who was Akbar’s contemporary and was famous for his debating abilities. This is recalled by Sādhusundara in several of his praśastis: [...]. Sādhusundara’s taste for linguistic knowledge is displayed in a lexicon (Śabdaratnākara), in a grammatical work (Dhāturatnākara) and in a bilingual repository of Sanskrit / vernacular words, the Uktiratnākara. This work had been prepared for the press by tessitori (cf. Bardic and Historical Survey, JASB 1916: 58-59; below cat. no. 389). Thus Sādhusundara was a topic in the letters exchanged between tessitori and Vijayadharmasūri.

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.
