Corroboration of the Conclusion
It is really a surprising coincidence that the Burmese tradition and our approach arrive exactly at the same fact, for the author of this book was not at all aware of the Burmese tradition till he reached the conclusion.
The author came to know about the Burmese tradition only after the whole book had already been published in the form of articles in the journals like Jaina Bhārati,1 Anekānta2 etc.
Well, the four evidences cited above have corroborated our conclusion in the same way as the fourway farers from different directions would confirm the reality of the pole by arriving at the same polar point.
