he noble life of Lord Mahavira, the great Tapasvi, (i. e. The ascetic) has been sketched here briefly. It can be admitted without any hesitation that a complete delineation of the Lord's life which is so full of mysteries is simply impossible. Language in itself is non-conscious and therefore unable to give a complete description. Whatever has been said above is not in any way unsufficient. Its careful study and practice into life with a pure heart may raise any soul to the highest position. The life of Lord Mahavira can be booked at from many points of view. It shows the right way to salvation to him who is desirious of liberation; it solves the intricate problems of philosophy for a philosopher and gives a correct idea of the then existing social conditions to a sociologist. A careful study of the life of Lord Mahavira may enable us to form an idea of the religious, national, social and economic conditions of his times. The life of Lord Mahavira is so well inter-connected with his teachings that it is extremely difficult if not impossible to understand his life without minutely understanding his teachings. Many of his teachings and decisions are closely related to contemporary conditions.
