Dr. Zimmer believed that there is truth in the Jaina idea that their religion goes back to a remote antiquity, the antiquity in question being that of the pre-Aryan, socalled Dravidian period, which has recently been dramatically illuminated by the discovery of a series of the great Late Stone Age cities in the Indus Valley, dating from the third and perhaps even fourth millennium B.

Liberation implies freedom from Karmic matter, which shrouds the real glory of the soul, drags it into various conditions and makes it experience multifarious pleasures and pains.
