Study of the resemblances of the Jain literature with:
1.
The Buddhistic literature.
A. The Buddhistic legend of Pāyāsi.
B.
The Rayapasenaiyya.
Comparison of the two recensions of the legend. Conclusions : 1. The legend must be familiar longtime, before the Buddhistic and Jaina writings.
2. The Buddhistic recension is not necessarily more ancient than the Jaina recension, still it may be more simple.
3. I cannot be determined in a certain manner if the Jain writing goes back to a period when the priority of Pārsva was a manifest fact.
II. The brahmanical epic literature.
the
? AComparison of the legend of Draupadi in the Mahabharata and in Jħatadharmakatha. The Jaina recital must go up to high antiquity.
B. Comparison of the legend spoken of Herode, a part of the legend of Krsna in the Bhāgavatapurāņa, with the corresponding narration of the Jħatadharmakatha.
III. The Brahmanical astronomical literature. Study of three astronomical passages from the commentary of Bhattotpala on the BỊhajjataka (966 A.D.). These passages are borrowed of an old Jain astronomer of the name of Kalakācārya.
An astronomical treatise is also attributed to one Bhadrabahu. This work is in Sanskrit, and the commentator Abhayadeva knew it already under this form about 1120 A.D.
IV. The Brahmanical grammar.
General considerations on the activity of the Jains in the grammatical domain. The quotations of Brahmanical grammarians in the commentaries of Malayagiri and of Silānka.
