General definition (in Jainism)

Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection I

Vijayaghoṣa (विजयघोष) refers to one of the heroes populating the Jain narrative tradition, mentioned Pārśvacandrasūri’s Sādhuvandanā (dealing with the Āvaśyaka section of Jain Canonical literature). The Sādhuvandanā 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.—[...] As the title indicates, the work is a litany of homage to all the saints of the Jain tradition. Apart from the 24 Jinas and the Gaṇadharas, heroes populating the Jain narrative tradition are duly paid respect as well (e.g. Jayaghoṣa-Vijayaghoṣa, [...]). Such a panoramic homage can be part of the morning ritual and can be compared to works such as the Ṛṣimaṇḍalastotras which similarly include a wide range of exemplary characters.

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.
