1) Sādhuvandanā (साधुवन्दना) is the name of a work by Pārśvacandrasūri dealing with the Āvaśyaka section of Jain Canonical literature.—Several manuscripts named Sādhuvandanā (in Gujarati) are 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.—The Sādhuvandanā is divided into ḍhālas, with or without numbering. The following divisions are seen: on 54v4, on 55v2, on 56v4, on 58v9 (ḍhāla 4), on 59v7 (ḍhāla 5). As the title indicates, the work is a litany of homage to all the saints of the Jain tradition. Apart from the 24 Jinas and the Gaṇadharas, heroes populating the Jain narrative tradition are duly paid respect as well (e.g. Karakaṃḍu, Nami, Mṛgāputra, Samudrapāla, Kesīya-gotama. Jayaghoṣa-Vijayaghoṣa, 76 to 80, who are all found in the Uttarādhyayanasūtra). Such a panoramic homage can be part of the morning ritual and can be compared to works such as the Ṛṣimaṇḍalastotras which similarly include a wide range of exemplary characters.

2) Sādhuvandanā (साधुवन्दना) is another work by Ṛṣi Kuṃvar from the same category and collection.—This manuscript of the Sādhuvandanā is divided into ḍhālas: [...] In its complete form the work has 14 ḍhālas and 246 stanzas. In agreement with this literary form, homage is paid to Jinas and all heroes of the Jain faith, with reference to the earlier tradition (e.g. to the eighth Aṅga, ḍhāla 9 Mef 256v). The author, Ṛṣi Kuṃvar was a pupil of Jīvarāja Ṛṣi and belonged to the loṅkāgaccha. He composed this work in VS 1624 (1567 ce).

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.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
