the works of stalwarts of Advaita Vedanta such as Sankara 69 and his followsers which certainly deserve separate treatment. It is also vory important to note that, thougb Jaipas criticise the some of the doctrines of Advaita, still some Advaitic trends are steeped into Jainism.70 And there was trend to reconcile Jainism with Advaita and other systems of Indian Philosopby.
