Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): (Jainism)Svopajñavṛtti (स्वोपज्ञवृत्ति) is a commentary on the Yogaśāstra by Hemacandra: a Jain treatise dealing with Yoga and the highest reality (tattva).—Jambūvijaya's excellent critical edition indicates that Hemacandra quoted verses from a wide variety of literature in his commentary on the Yogaśāstra, called the Svopajñavṛtti, including Jain canonical texts, Prakrit texts, his own works, the Pātañjalayoga tradition and miscellaneous Sanskrit works such as the Mahābhārata.
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.
