JAINA BIBLIOGRAPHY
P. 160. According to Jainas and the Buddhas, however, the law is the declaration of the Aptas or Seers of the Transcendental plane-persons who by acquiring personal experience of matters of Spiritual significance are competent judges of what is really right or wrong.
P. 161. Buddhas and Jainas being atheists do not admit any eternally perfect being. In place of such a being they assume an endless series of perfected persons who acquire perfection in course of time.
