Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IGuṇaśekhara (गुणशेखर) was the teacher of Samayaraṃga: the author of the “Gauḍī-Pārśvanātha-vṛddha-stavana” (dealing with Pārśva 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.—Samayaraṃga, the author, was the disciple of Guṇaśekhara and seems to have belonged to the kharataragaccha (no chronological information traced).
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.
