: Acta Orientalia vol. 74 (2013): Historical sequence of the Vaiṣṇava Divyaś

Śṅgṇi temple (or Bhāskarakṣetra) refers to Kuṭantai, one of the 108 Vaishnava Divya Desam (徱ⲹś or divyasthalas), located in the topographical division of Cōḻanāṭu (“Chola country�), according to the 9th century Nālāyirativviyappirapantam (shortly Nālāyiram).—Tradition would record the Vaiṣṇava 徱ⲹś or divyasthalas are 108. The 徱ⲹś is a base of the cult of Viṣṇu in Viṣṇuism [Vaiṣṇavism] tradition. The list of 108 [viz., Śṅgṇi] seems to have reached maturation by about the early 9th century CE as all the ś are extolled in the hymns of the twelve Āḻvārs.

[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Sharngapani in Jainism glossary
: WikiPedia: Jainism

Śṅgṇi (शार्ङ्गपाण�) is another name for the nine Vāsudevas (or Viṣṇu, Nārāyaṇa), referring to a set of nine “heroes� and counterpart of the antagonistic Prativāsudevas (or Prativiṣṇus, Pratinārāyaṇas), mentioned in both Śvetāmbara and Digambara literature.—In every half time cycle, there are 9 sets of Balabhadras (gentle heroes), Vasudevas (violent heroes) and Prativāsudevas (anti-heroes). Unlike in the Hindu Puranas, the names Balabhadra and Narayana are not restricted to Balarama and Krishna in Jain Puranas. Instead they serve as names of two distinct classes of mighty half brothers, who appear nine times in each half of the time cycles of the Jain cosmology and jointly rule half the earth as half-chakravarti. Ultimately Pratinaryana is killed by Narayana for his unrighteousness and immorality.

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.
