India. All of these excepting Jainism are almost dying. In other countries where the Dharma of the Karma-Kândi Mimânsakâs has disappeared, its effect is that people make sacrifices by killing ani. mals and inorder to please God make offer. ings of skin, flesh, and blood by killing bul. locks etc. as is described in Tauret and Quran etc. Also the book named Iliad says in its account of war that Hector and other great warriors made sacrifices to gods by killing different kinds of animals. All this appears to be the remnant of Mimânsak religion. The sufism among Mohammedans appears to be the relic of Vedantism. In India some people of the Brahman caste etc have given up Hinsak-yagn and avoid flesh eating and drinking etc ; this appears to be the after-effect of Jainism and Buddhism. In other countries also the existence of virtuous acts such as mercy etc appears to be the remnant of Jainism and Buddhism.
