PT. SHIVA SHANKAR MISRA ON JAINISM.
Messrs R. D. Babite and Co., No. 4, Chorbagan strect, Calcutta, have published a book-Bharat ka Dharmik Itihas--by Pt. Shiva Shankar Misra of Bethar ( Unao, v. P. ). In this book the author has given the lives and teachings of the founders of different religions fonnd in India, at various times from the Vedic age up to date.
As was necessary he has dealt with Jainism also but it is regretted that the account given by him is, in several respects, wrong and misleading. The author has tried to put before his readers the religion in its simplest form but he has failed. He has not even understood the terms Parigraha, Arihanta, Digambar, Ganadhar, Ganadip and so on.
The following are a few points out of many worthy of reconsidration. He says:
1. Jainas say that their religion was founded by Rishabhdeva ( Adinath ) who descended from the Adipurush MANU. But there is no such mention in the religious books of the Aryans.
