IX
The Svetambara and Digambara biographics of Cāṇakya
are compared with critical remarks.
* Each and every Jaina reference is originally documented, translated and brought under proper scrutiny.
* The Jaina code of conduct for monks and householders are revisited from the viewpoint of Kauṭilīya Arthaśāstra.
We can increase the list of the salient features in various ways but in nutshell, we can say that, the legendary history of Caṇakya preserved by the Jainas will open up new vistas for the scholars of Kautilyan Studies.
