: University of Cambridge: Jainism

ٱ𱹲ܲԻ岹ū (देवसुन्दरसूर�) or simply Devasundara is the teacher of Kulamaṇḍanasūri: the author of the Kalpasūtrāvacūri: a commentary on the Kalpasūtra: a major canonical text of the Śvetāmbara Jains. [...] Kulamaṇḍanasūri was one of the five prominent disciples of ٱ𱹲ܲԻ岹ū, the 49th pontiff of the Tapāgaccha. He was born in V.S. 1409, became Sūri in V.S. 1442 and died in V.S. 1455 (cf. Klatt 1882: p. 255).

ٱ𱹲ܲԻ岹ū (देवसुन्दरसूर�) was a teacher of the ٲ岵 order, according to the manuscript of the Arbudācalacaityaparipāṭ� (dealing with Sacred places 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.—The initial homage to Somasundarasūri could come from the scribe or from the author. This Somasundarasūri (VS 1430-1499) was the head of the ٲ岵 after ٱ𱹲ܲԻ岹ū. Among the numerous works he wrote is an Arbudagirikalpa (VS 1480; date according to tripuṭ� Mahārāj vol. 3 p. 447) often referred to in Holy Abu but with no reference to publication. It would be worth seeing how much the present work, written in VS 1526, thus thirty-six years later, by another member of the ٲ岵, is indebted to this predecessor.

General definition book cover
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.
