: Singhi Jain Series: Ratnaprabha-suri’s Kuvalayamala-katha

Giṃha-lacchī refers to one of the “personified beauties�, according to the 8th-century Kuvalayamālā written by Uddyotanasūri, a Prakrit Campū (similar to Kāvya poetry) narrating the love-story between Prince Candrāpīḍa and the Apsaras Kādambarī.—The Campū opens with salutations to the great Tirthaṃkaras on the occasion of whose birth even the gods take part in the great festival, clapping their hands with bejewelled bracelets (ṇiⲹ, 1.2). The personified beauty mentioned as 󲹱-ī, ṃh-, ܲ-ī, ⲹ-ī and 𳾲ṃt-ī is full of beautiful expression not found elsewhere.

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.
