INTRODUCTION
Vasudevas and Prati-Vasudevas. The sources of my information are of course the Adipurapa of Jinasena, the Uttarapurana Gupabhadra and the Mahapurana of Puspadanta, which works, I hope, represent one of the best, if not the best, of the Digambara tradition. At one or two places I used Śvetambara sources as my texts failed to give, or I failed to trace therein the material. I shall be greatly obliged to scholars if they bring to my notice inaccuracies or deficiencies in them which I shall most thankfully consider.
