ŚRUTA-SARITĀ
emphasis more on the older works than on later Purānas,
Here I have mentioned some of the facts of Lord Mahāvīra's life in order to draw the attention of the scholars to the problem of writing a historical life of Lord Mahāvīra.
I must thank the organisers of this seminar for giving me an opportunity to speak before this august audience. Due to my ill health I was not able to write down my lecture and hence I have no written lecture with me. Yet you allowed me to speak on the subject. For this I am really grateful to you all.
