General definition (in Jainism)
Source: University of Cambridge: JainismSudharmasvāmī (सुधर्मस्वामी) refers to one of the 70 teachers mentioned in the Kharataragacchapaṭṭāvalī: a Sanskrit text listing the heads or pontiffs (sūri) of the Kharataragaccha, one of the most important Śvetāmbara monastic orders. The Kharatara-gaccha is especially rooted in Rajasthan. The text includes a narration of events in their lives (i.e., of Sudharma-svāmī), and can thus be called a Kharataragacchapaṭṭāvalī
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection ISudharmasvāmi (सुधर्मस्वामि) is the name of a teacher in the lineage of Kanakakīrti: the author of the Draupadīcopaī (dealing with the lives of Jain female heroes), 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.—In the final part of the work the author presents his spiritual genealogy extensively (even more in the version available in Jain gurjar Kavio; the present one is slightly shorter). He belongs to the kharataragaccha and goes back far in the history of his lineage, which he expounds with obvious pride: Sudharmasvāmi, Abhayadeva, Jinavallabha, Jinadatta. [...]
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.
