Appendix III.
The Jain Cosmography.
Various references in these scriptures, of the Hells and Heavens-and in fact, of the idea, of the universe, as conceived by Jain theology necessitate the fuller treatment of the a separate appendix, The references for example are,
same in
पृ. २८. ४-५ तच्चाप बालुयप्पभाष पुढवीप उज्जलिए
नरए etc.
पृ. ६७. ३-५ उडूं चंदिमसोहम्मीसाण [जाव] आरणच्चुए कप्पे नवयगेवेज्ज विमाणपत्थडे उडूं दूरं विईवइत्ता विजयविमाणे देवत्ता उववण्णे ।
The very name of the Ninth Scripture 'The Fortunes of those who were reborn in the Highest Mansions' signifies the importance of this treatment. In Jain Canonical Literature, the fuller treatment of the Jain idea of the universe will be found, for example see ERG XXXVI arfs St. 157-158, for a St. 108-ffTM [of course the description of their denizens in thorough details ]. We shall quote below the Sūtras from उमास्वाति's तत्त्वार्थ. III.
