to Țodarmala of Jaipur (C. 18th century A.D.), in manipulating the mathematicophilosophic pursuits of Karma theory and beyond through various varied forms of symbolism.28 It seems that the mathematical notes might have been originated with Brāhmi and Sundarī scripts29 invention, needed at their utmost by Acārya Bhadrabāhu and his initiated disciple (emperor Candragupta), on Karma theory depicted in the Dhavalā and the Jai Dhavalā. There is also the set (rāśi) theoretic approach all through in these texts. Several types of doubts are removed by Vīrasena, as a logician and a formalist, while supporting the āgma or revelational and traditional intuitionistic ancient sources. We need not go into details of the Pramāna and the Naya systems which were developed for logic sake alone in both the schools of the Jainas. We shall concentrate on the techniques adopted by Vīrsenācārya. For, by the time of Keśavavarni, the philosophic pursuits had taken a turn for mathematical rigor alone. The logic used by Keśavavarnī, Muni Nemichandra, Saidhāntī Abhayacandra and Pandita Todaramala solved various problems making use of logical arguments, approximations, symbols etc., after Mādhavacandra Traividyā and Cāmundarāi.
