Ѳ𱹲ٲԲ (महादेवस्तव�) is the name of a work by Hemacandra dealing with classical hymns and stotras from Jain literature.—The Ѳ𱹲ٲԲ (in Sanskrit) 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.—The Ѳ𱹲ٲԲ is a hymn to the idea of a Jina, the true great God (Mahādeva). The purpose is to extol his superiority over Śiva in the perspective of the conversion of king Kumārapāla to Jainism. It is a powerful hymn marked by two refrains: mahādeva� sa ucyate (3, 4, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12) and ekamūrtti� katha� bhavet (21 to 32).

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.
