Note No. 56. Prof. Johannes Hertel :
"They are the creators of a very extensive popular literature."
SAIN INFLUENCE. "They did not rest content with explaining their own teaching in Sanskrit works; they turnert also to the secular sciences of the Brahmans. They have accomplished so much of importance, in grammar, in astronomy, as well as in soine branches of letters, that they bave won respect even from their enemies, and some of their works are still of importance to European science. In Southern India, where they worked among the Dravadian tribes, they also advanced the development of these languages. The Kanarese literary language and the Tamil and Telugu rest on the foundations laid by the Jaina inonks. This activity led them, indeed, far from their proper goal, but it created for them an important position in the history of literature and culture." P. 22 The Indian Sect of the Jains.
