: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection ICothamal (चोथमल्) or “Ṛṣi Cothamal� is the author of the �Nokaravālī kī ḍhāla� (dealing with the Ethics section of Jain Canonical 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.—there are several Sthānakavāsin or ṅk岵 monks with the name Cothamala (Cauthmal). But this could be the most famous one, born VS 1800—died VS 1880, a prolific author of narrative or didactic poems (Rājasthān kā Jain Sāhitya p. 184). Here he invites one to get rid of desire and of all that prevents from spiritual progress.

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.
