JAINISM AND BUDDHISM
(3) Sarvârtha Siddhi by Pujya pada (4) Râja Vartika by Akalanka (5) Gommatasâra by Nemichandra (6) Labdhi Sâra by
(7) Ksapana Sâra by , English translation of No. 1 & 5 have been published and can be had from (1) " Jain Gazette" Office, 436, Mint Street, Madras, (2) Jain Publishing House, Ajitashram, Lucknow, (3) Jain Parishad Publishing House Bijnor.
Hindi translations of the above-said books can be had from the Digambar Jain Book Depot, Chanda Wadi, Surat. We have very briefly described the karmic philosophy here. Whatever we have noted above shows that even the description of the Karmic law according to Jainism and Buddhism is not different. It is possible to have detailed description of Karma philosophy in Buddhist books also. If they could be traced, everything will agree with that of Jainisin.
I believe that those who have compiled the old Buddhist literature inust have had knowledge of the Karmic philosophy according to Jainism. The presen! literature, no doubt, does not speak of it so explicitly as the Jain literature does. The educated must study this subject calmly and carefully.
