(2) Correspondences between VHM, KSS and BKM.
Jain Education International
Dharmasena's reliance on the BK tradition as the source for the stories in his VHM is established beyond doubt by the correspondences between VHM on one hand and KSS and BKM on the other tabulated below. These findings relate to the first eighteen Lambhas only of VHM. They will have to be supplemented by new facts that may emerge from the rest of VHM.
