| Abstract | Abstract Jain commentaries in Sanskrit are vital for an understanding of the old Jain religious texts in Prakrit, the commentaries date from the 8th to 13th century. The major commentators are well-known in name but as yet there has not been any sustained research on their works. This article attempts to provide an initial reference point by listing (for the first time) all known published editions of Jain commentaries in Sanskrit on the Śvetāmbara canon by Śīlaṅka (9th century), Abhayadeva (10th century) and Malayagiri (10th –11th century). Keywords: Jainism, Śvetāmbara Jain texts, Sanskrit commentaries Izvleček Džainski komentarji, zapisani v sanskrtu, ki so nastali med 8. in 13. stoletjem, so ključnega pomena za razumevanje džainskega kanona, ki se je ohranil v prakrtu. Glavni komentatorji so sicer poznani po imenih, vendar so jim znanstveniki do sedaj namenili le malo pozornosti. Glavni doprinos prispevka je v celostni predstavitvi vseh obstoječih izdaj džainskih komentarjev na džainske tekste iz tradicije Śvetāmbara, ki so zapisani v sanskrtu, Pregled komentarjev je osredotočen na tri avtorje: Śīlaṅka iz 9. stoletja, Abhayadeva iz 10. stoletja in Malayagiri iz 10.–11..stoletja. Ključne besede: džainizem, džainski teksti tradicije Śvetāmbara, džainski komentarji v sanskrtu |
