3 "The Gaṇadharavada ... is a part of the ViAvBhā. (gāthās 1549-2024) of Jinabhadra and describes the controversies between Lord Mahāvīra and Indrabhūti and other Brahmanical thinkers who after much intellectual discussion were convinced of the truth of Mahāvīra's teaching and joined him as his faithful and devoted disciples and preached his teachings and philosophical views. A number of philosophical topics come up for discussion here and different views and speculations about them are discussed; all the possible alternatives are explained and refuted, and the Jaina view is established. Thus the Gaṇadharavāda gives an insight into a number of problems of Indian philosophy from different points of view" (E. A. Solomon, ViAvBhā.partial translation. English. 1966, p. v).
