[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Ardhashlokadhikara in Jainism glossary
: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection I

śǰ󾱰 (अर्धश्लोकाधिका�) refers to one of the three sections of the Anekadhvanimañjarī (dealing with Lexicography), 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 Anekadhvanimañjarī, composed in Գ̣̣ܲܲ, is ‘extant in several versions of varying length and rather poor quality� (Vogel). Basically, there are three sections, the titles of which correspond to the length occupied by the discussion of each lemma: 1. śǰ󾱰 (the discussion of each lemma occupies a full śǰ첹); 2. ardhaśǰ󾱰 (discussion occupying half a śǰ첹); 3. 󾱰 (discussion in the form of individual words).

context information

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.
