In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection ISomadevasūri (सोमदेवसूरि) is the author of the Arbudācalacaityaparipāṭī (dealing with Sacred places 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.—Somadevasūri, the author of this caityaparipāṭī, was a pupil of Lakṣmīsāgarasūri (born VS 1464) with whom he wrote the Pañcaśatiprabodha (cf. Jaina Onomasticon p. 921). Lakṣmīsāgara had become the head of the group in VS 1517, and occupied this position when Somadevasūri wrote the Abu composition. In addition to the contents described above, the author refers to visits of his group to Abu for the installation of images which took place in the same year, [...]. The author’s name does not appear in any of the inscriptions but he could have been there as a witness. Anyway, his remark about the astonishmemt caused by the Digambara image could be a sign of his actual presence on the site at some time.
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.

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.
