Jain literature
Jain literature (Sanskrit: जैन साहित्य) refers to the literature of the Jain religion. It is a vast and ancient literary tradition, which was initially transmitted orally. The oldest surviving material is contained in the canonical Jain Agamas, which are written in Ardhamagadhi, a Prakrit (Middle-Indo Aryan) language. Various commentaries were written on these canonical texts by later Jain monks. Later works were also written in other languages, like Sanskrit and Maharashtri Prakrit.
Amoghavarsha
Amoghavarsha I (also known as Amoghavarsha Nrupathunga I) (r.814–878 CE) was the greatest emperor of the Rashtrakuta dynasty, and one of the most notable rulers of Ancient India. His reign of 64 years is one of the longest precisely dated monarchical reigns on record. Many Kannada and Sanskrit scholars prospered during his rule, including the great Indian mathematician Mahaviracharya who wrote Ganita-sara-samgraha, Jinasena, Virasena, Shakatayan and Sri Vijaya (a Kannada language theorist).
Sectes Digambara
Digambara (« vêtu d'espace ») est une des deux grandes subdivisions du jaïnisme, l'autre étant la branche shvetambara (« vêtu de blanc »), les deux expressions signifiant que les moines digambara sont complètement nus, tandis que les moines shvetambara portent un vêtement blanc. Cette division serait apparue en 79 av. J.C. (mais on donne aussi d'autres dates), et elle semble due essentiellement à des divergences sur des points de doctrines, renforcées par des querelles religieuses.
