provide introduction of dhaneshvar suri
Dhaneshvar Suri (Dhaneśvara-sūri) was a Śvetāmbara Jain ācārya known as the author of the Sanskrit Śatrunjayamāhātmya, a devotional and pilgrimage text praising the sanctity and history of Mount Śatruñjaya (Palitana) in Gujarat. The work became one of the important sources that shaped Śvetāmbara tradition around this tīrtha. ( jainpedia.org, en.wikipedia.org)
Śatrunjayamāhātmya is transmitted in multiple editions and is often described in 14 sargas (sections). It recounts revered legends connected with Ṛṣabhanātha (Ādinātha), Pundarika, and later narrations linked with Mahāvīra, while extolling the spiritual merit of visiting or even remembering Śatruñjaya. The composition is generally placed by scholars around the medieval period (about the 14th century), based on internal references and related textual history.

Note:
- Sect: Śvetāmbara Mūrtipūjaka.
- Focus: promoting tīrtha-bhakti (devotion to sacred places) and right conduct during pilgrimage, without doctrinal innovations, in harmony with classic Jain dharma. ( jainpedia.org)
