Also my article 'Sāmāyika : A Jain path of purification' in the Problems
of Defilements in Oriental Religions, Tokyo 1975. 20) The validity of ‘niscaya' versus ‘vyavahāra' has provoked a great deal
of controversy within the community of Digambara Jainas from the time of Ācārya Kundakunda; a formal debate among prominent Jaina scholars aiming to settle this controversy took place as recently as 1967. The proceedings of this debate are given in two volumes entitled Jaipur (Khāniyā) Tattvacarcā, Shri Todarmal Granthamala, pushpa 2 and 3, Jaipur, 1967.
