Conclusion
The study of the eclipses of the Sun and Moon according to Jaina Astronomy in the light of the astronomical views of other Indian and modern schools of astronomy on them in regard to some aspects reveals that the Jaina astronomers followed some traditional path of research in the field of astronomy to ascertain the cause of the eclipses, etc. and tried to discover the mystery of eclipses in their own manner with their, observation in the absence of scientific verifying data. In this respect their attempt to deal with the eclipses in their astronomy is thoughtprovoking.
