Śrīdāmagaṇḍa (श्रीदामगण्ड) refers to a “golden ornament” or a “ball with beautiful garlands”, according to chapter 1.2 [ādīśvara-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism. Accordingly, “[...] Purandara placed on the canopy above the Master to amuse his eyes a śrīdāmagaṇḍa, made of gold-leaf, a golden sun rich with necklaces and half-necklaces of various jewels, like the sun in the sky”.—(cf. See Āvaśyakasūtra p. 191a. Āvaśyakasūtra p. 134b. Jambūdvīpaprajñapti 123, p. 423b.)

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.
