Credibility / Reliability of History
After the above deliberation it can be firmly stated that Jain history stands on a deep and firm foundation and emerges not from hearsays and imaginations from all and sundry but from the uninterrupted / continuous tradition of the early cryas. Hence there is no scope for doubting its credibility / reliability. Just as Vimala S ri writes in Paumacariyam:
N m valiya nibaddham yariyaparampar gayam Savvam
Vocch mi pauma cariyam, ah upuvvim sam se a
