General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IGuṇamerusūri (गुणमेरुसूरि) was the teacher of Ratnasundarasūri: the author of the Śukabahuttarī (narrating stories from 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.—[...] Before embarking upon the narration itself the author [Ratnasundara-sūri] starts with various lengthy homages to Sarasvatī, to the 24 Jinas, then to Sarasvarī again, and finally to his own teacher, Guṇamerusūri of the pūrṇimāgaccha. His own name, Ratnasundara-sūri, appears only in the final part of the work (not available in this ms.). In the initial homage, he also gives the date of composition of the work, VS 1638 (= 1581 CE). He has several other Gujarati narrative poems to his credit (JgK 2, pp. 128-135).
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.
