Description

This scholarly examination of the medieval Svetambara Jain renunciant order, the Tapa Gaccha, traces the consolidation of its identity as the leading Svetambara order from the thirteenth century onwards. The author explores how the Tapa Gaccha established its authority through negotiating lineage primacy, the posthumous divinity of key leaders, and the validity of scriptural exegesis and customary practice. The work engages with polemical disputes between Jain orders and dissident elements, employing chronicles, poetry, and theological debate to illuminate the intellectual activity and historical development of this significant monastic community. Published by Routledge as part of the Advances in Jaina Studies series, this used book in good condition provides essential insight into medieval Jain religious history, sectarian identity formation, and the textual traditions that shaped Jainism.
