We started to give an answer to the question: 'Were the Tirthankaras Omniscient?' and we have come to the end of our reply. Whether they were omniscient within the perview of the definition given, I leave the reader to judge for himself. What I have placed before the reader is that the facts described within the last half a dozen paragraphs (1) to (6) which have been discovered by the great pioneers of science working day and night in their laboratories and elsewhere and spending stupendous sums of money were already placed before us (not of course with very great details) by our Jaina Tirthankaras. We can only imagine what a divine foresight they must have possessed who laid bare before us the mysteries of the biggest and the smallest, the Universe and the atom.
