Saṃsāradāvānala (संसारदावानल) is the name of a hymn by Haribhadrasūri Yākinīmahattarāputra presented in the Saṃsāradāvāvacūri (dealing with classical hymns and stotras from 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.—The introductory phrase of the manuscript of the Saṃsāradāvāvacūri makes us expect a commentary on Mahāvīra’s samavasaraṇa. But the text is then the complete Saṃsāradāvānala hymn, which is a frequent component of pratikramaṇa recitation, with commentary. It is ascribed to Haribhadrasūri Yākinīmahattarāputra. The first verse praises Mahāvīra, the second all the Jinas, the third the scriptures and the fourth Śrutadevī.

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.
