It has remained an integral part of Jainism and has not separated from it and developed into an independent school of thought or philosophy like Vajrayāna which did develop into an independent school of Buddhism. The rigour with which the Jains dealt with laxity in observance of the rules of conduct for Sādhus by driving out of the fold those who least dared to tamper with the sacred fountains of Jainism, branding them as 'Nihnavas', acted as a great check upon the activities of the Jain Mantrikas and Jain Mantravāda did not degrade to the depth of adopting the abominable practices of Cinācāra etc. Jain Mantravāla has taken its legitimate place in Jainism as a kind of Yoga-Padastha Dhyāna, providing a practical and popular method of self-realisation through natural and convenient stages: Mantrayoga
