General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IVarasiṃhajī (वरसिंहजी) or “Ṛṣi Varasiṃha” is the author of the Pārśvanāthastavana (dealing with Pārśva 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.—[...] [At the end] come a few verses numbered 2 to 5, 1 apparently missing. they relate to a part of the biography of the lonkāgaccha leader Ṛṣi ( Junior) Varasiṃhajī born VS 1589, died VS 1662: mother’s name, place of dīkṣā, i.e. Sirohi, name of teacher, i.e. Lālajī (see JgK 9, p. 137, text 17 in this ms. = cat. no. 340 for a poem dedicated to this teacher). Since the term ḍhāla, used once in the pārśva hymn, occurs at the end, it could mean that Varasiṃha is the author of this work.
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.
