* Paper read at the Third International Sanskrit Conference held at Paris in 1977. 1. Mottur kasayajujjham samjamajujjena jujjhimo inhim/Parisahabhaḍehi samayam jāva thio uttamaṭṭhemmi // PC. 4. 51
2. For description of this colossal see, K. R. Srinivasan, Aspects of Jaina Art and Architecture, Ahmedabad, pp. 176-179.
ŚRUTA-SARITĀ
3. Muni Punyavijayji's article on Padhamanuyoga, in Acharya Vijayavallabhasûri Smarakagrantha, Mahavira Jaina Vidyalaya, Bombay, pp. 49-56; AN. 250, 231; Vi. 1688, 1669; nāmāvalinibaddham PC. 1. 8.
4. Theory of twins (juyalaga) is accepted by JP. p. 549, and it is clearly said that in Susamasusama there were no vivähäi (marriages etc.), p. 548. So is the case with susamā also p. 550, about Susamadusama text is not clear, because Marudeva is said to have given birth to Rṣabha but Sumangala is not mentioned, p. 551. According to VH also we do not find mention that Marudevi have birth to Sumangală but as birth of twins is continued in the times of Ṛsabha also according to VH, we can conclude that Rsabha and Sumangalā were twins, VS. p. 161.
5. Here Ravisena says that Potana was the capital of Bahubali and further he says that there was war but after that Bahubali proposed duel, PP. 4. 68 ff.
6. According to Jambudvipaprajñapti this is not the case. It is clearly mentioned that country of Bharavāsa takes its name after the God of that name and even this name is permanent, p. 592. This clearly shows that author's mind is working towards mythicising. But VP (2. 1. 32) and BP (5. 4. 9) support VH Ravisena (PP. 4. 59) and Jinasena (MP. 15. 159) also support VH.
7. According to the Jainas the dynasty of Ikṣvāku begins with Rṣabha (Vh. p. 164) AN 180-181 Vi-āsiya ikkhubhoi ikkhāgā tena khattiya honti-1610. But PC. says it began with Aiccajasa (5. 9), the son of Bharata (5. 3.).
