Impact of Vedic Tradition on Jainism
89
Though in the 12th - 134 century AD, there were many competent philosophers and writers like Hemacandra, still it is not known that there was a powerful and meaningful attempt made to liberate Jaina tradition from the influences of other contemporary religious traditions though on the basis of attempts to reform and on the basis of differt .ce of opinions different sects and sub-sects in the Svetāmbara tradition came into existence such as Tapāgaccha, Ancalagaccha etc. but still, till around 15th century AD Jaina sarngha remained the victim of circumstances.
