Jaina Literature and Philosophy
[ 497
As Weber has pointed out Kalpasūtra was the first Jaina text made known in A. D. 1848 to occidental scholars in the very faulty translation of Rev. J. Stevenson. See his edition of “The Kalpa Sūtra and Nava Tattva', London. Lassen's Indische Alterthumskunde, vol. IV, its translation published in Indian Antiquary vol. II, pp. 193-200 and 258-265, Hindu Philosophy popularly explained -- the heterodox systems (ch. VI. & VII) by R. C. Bose, Calcutta, 1887, S.J. Warren's “Over de godsdienstige en wijsgeerige Begrippen der Jaina's, Zwolle, 1875, G. Bühler's “ Über die indische secte der Jaina”, Wien, 1887, its translation by Burgess, London, 1903, A. Barth's “Bulletin des religions de l'Inde" - Jainisme, vol. I, pp. 256-257, A. D. 1880, A. Weber's “Ueber das Çatrunjaya Māhātmya, Ein Beitrag zur Geschichte der Jaina"Leipzig, 1858, Z. D. M. G. vol. XXXIV. pp. 247-318, and Z. D. M. G. vel. XXXVII, pp. 493-520 may be also consulted.
