Description

Explore the complex history of the Tapa Gaccha, a medieval Svetambara Jain renunciant order. This academic work from the Routledge Advances in Jaina Studies series examines how this specific group consolidated its identity as a leading Svetambara order starting in the thirteenth century. The text analyzes how the order established its primacy through several methods, including the negotiation of lineage and the posthumous divinity of its leaders. Readers will learn about the role of scriptural exegesis, customary practices, and the status of non-Jains in shaping the sect. By studying chronicles, poetry, and polemical engagements with other Jain orders and dissident elements, this book provides a deep look into the intellectual activity and social positioning of the Tapa Gaccha during the medieval period.
