Umaswati
Umaswati also known as Umaswami was the chief disciple of Acharya Kundakunda. He is the author of Tattvartha Sutra (that which is), which is one of the most important Jain texts. He is claimed by both the Digambara and Svetambara sects as their own. A mathematician, he lived in the 2nd century AD. It is likely that at this time no clear division of the Jain community had emerged, and thus both sects may be right in claiming him. He was a Acharya (head of the monastic order). Acharyas are one of the Pañca-Parameṣṭhi (five supreme beings).

Umuzi Wami
by: Johnny Clegg & SavukaKuthi angihambe, ngihamba lekhaya, ngidlala isangoma
(I felt I should go, I should leave this home and visit a diviner)
-- hawu! ayikho into enjalo madoda! (x2)
(hey! this is a fraudulent activity, you guys!)
Sabula amanga isangoma
(the diviner told me lies)
Samnuka umkami ekhaya
(and blamed my wife at home for all my misfortune)
Hawu! ayikho into enjalo madoda!
(hey! this is a fradulent activity, you guys!)
Chorus
Muzi wami, udlala ngomuzi wami
(my home and family, the diviner tried to play with
My home and family, and destroy them)
Kuthi angihambe, ngihamba lekhaya, ngidlala isangoma
(I felt I should go, I should leave this home and visit a diviner)
-- hawu! ayikho into enjalo madoda! (x2)
(hey! this is a fraudulent activity, you guys!)
Sabula amanga isangoma
(the diviner told me lies)
Samnuka umkami ekhaya
(and blamed my wife at home for all my misfortune)
Hawu! ayikho into enjalo madoda!
