(born 1088, Dhandhuka, Gujarat, India—died 1172, Gujarat) Sage of Jainism. His birth is said to have been attended by auspicious omens, and he was educated by Jain priests. Ordained in 1110, he became an adviser to King Kumarapala in 1125, and by converting the king he firmly entrenched Jainism in Gujarat. His many writings include works on almost every branch of Indian philosophy and the sciences as well as literary writings such as his Sanskrit epic, Lives of the Jain Elders.
