________________ , 188 Jaina Community-A Social Survey B. C. : “Distinguished men and women in Jainism”, 'Indian Culture', Vol. II, pp. 669-684. The Digambaras, however, do not share this belief. They maintain that a woman can reach moksha but not in this life. For that she will have to take rebirth as a man. Accordingly the Digambaras maintain that Mallinatha, the 19th Tirthankara, was a man and not a woman. For the reason why Digambaras definitely closed the doors of salvation against women please refer to Sharma : Jainism and Karnataka Culture, p. 138. 188. Altekar, A. S. : 0p. cit., pp. 9-10. 189.
