Notice in brief of the Jain work on Buddhism.
The work begins with an exposition of the Buddhist religion as professed by the Jains, including the worship of Harr Hora, and Hiranyagarba, i.e., of Vişnu, Siva and Brahmä. Then follows discourses on Dharma and Adharma, showing what is religion and what irreligion, on the qualities and perfection of Bhagavān Sākya Buddha, and on behaviour in assemblies of Jains. The original treatise is in the Mägadhi language. [See Proc. As. Soc. 1873, p. 40.]
