(f) 'Jaina Monks and Nuns
N. B. (1) Monks of the same name are mentioned one below the other, but this does not necessarily mean that they have flourished in this very order, for arrangement according to their dates is beyond the scope of the present work. (2) The question of identity of monks of the same name, is not throughout tackled for the reason mentioned above.

(3) If a monk happens to be an author and if his name is mentioned by himself in his own work, his name is not noted here.

(4) Names of scribes are not here assigned a place.
(5) The words such as descendent', 'predecessor' and 'successor' do not denote invariably immediate ones.
