Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IDvāṣaṣṭhī (द्वाषष्ठी) is another name for the Rāmayaśorasāyana by Keśarāja Muni (dealing with Jain universal history such as the Jinas and related figures), 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 colophons of the present manuscript [of the Rāmayaśorasāyana] also show Dvāṣaṣṭhī as a title (not mentioned in Jain gurjar Kavio among available titles of the work).
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.
