description: "Acharya Virasena (750–825CE), also spelt as Veerasena, was a Jain monk and belonged to the lineage of Acharya Kundakunda. He was an Indian mathematician and Jain philosopher and scholar of Digambar sect. He was also known as a famous orator and an accomplished poet. He is renowned for his work on the monumental Jain commentary series on the ''Shatkhandagama'', known as the ''Dhavala'' texts. The late Dr. Hiralal Jain places the completion of this treatise in 816. He played a critical role in the development of Digambara scholasticism and is considered one of the greatest Jain scholars of early medieval India."
