The Vedic books on conduct are all in Sanskrit, The Bauddha books in Pali and the Jaina ones are in Prakrta-Sanskrit. Dr. Mohanlal Mehata's Jaina Acara' and Satyabhakta's 'Cartramīmānsā' on conduct have been well received. This book, however, is much more comprehensive. There is no topic concerning conduct that has not been treated here. The writer Devendra Muni possesses a catholic vision. He has all respect for other philosophies, Eastern and Western. Herein you well find a comparative estimate of the writings of different faiths on conduct. The Jaina view, of course, has been brought out prominently. Devendra Muni has rendered a yeoman's service not only to Jainas but also to all those who are interested in philosophy and religions. Research scholars will find it very useful. Those interested in this vital subject will find the book of great help. It will take them into the inner core of Jainism.
