1) Śāntināthastavana (शान्तिनाथस्तवन) is the name of a work by Ṛṣi Rāmakṛṣṇa dealing with various Jinas in Jain literature.—The Śāntināthastavana (in Hindi) 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 Śāntināthastavana represents a devotional, descriptive and narrative hymn to the sixteenth Jina which was composed in VS 1867 (1810 CE). The author was probably a Sthānakavāsin or a lonkāgaccha monk but no further information could be traced so far. The last line as given in the Koba manuscripts seems to include the name of the place of composition.

2) Śāntināthastavana (शान्तिनाथस्तवन) is another work by Śāntikuśala.

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.
