Jinasena (c. 9th century CE) was a monk and scholar in the Digambara tradition of Jainism.[1] He was patronized by the Rashtrakuta Emperor Amoghavarsha I.[1] He was the author of Adipurana and Mahapurana.[1][2]
Jinasena was the disciple of Acharya Virasena and he completed the commentary Dhavala on Ṣaṭkhaṅḍāgama, a revered text in the Digambara tradition. The name is shared by an earlier Acharya Jinasena who was the author of Harivamsa Purana.[3][better source needed]
