Devardhi or Vachanacharya Devardhigani Kshamashramana or Devavachaka was a Jain ascetic of the Śvetāmbara sect and an author of several Prakrit texts.
He was a prominent figure in Jainism in the 5th century AD. Mainly known for his contributions to the compilation and preservation of the canonical Jain scriptures, he is one of the most revered ascetics of the Śvetāmbara sect of Jainism.[1][2] It was under his guidance that the second council of Vallabhi was held to preserve the remaining canonical texts of Jainism.[3][4] Apart from the compilation of the canonical texts, he has been revered for his spiritual teachings as well.[5]
