THE AJIVIKAS, A SECT OF BUDDHIST BHIKSHUS.
___BY K. B. PATHAK, B.A.. RUBLI. The Buddhist emperor Asoka and his grandson Daśaratba dedicated certain cave-dwellings to the sect of the Ajivikas. Mr. V. A. Smith, in his Early History of India, p. 156, tells us that the members of this sout went about naked and were noted for ascutic practices of the most rigorous kind. In his opinion the Ajivikas had little or nothing in common with the Buddbists and were intimately connected with the Jainas. It will, therefore, be very interesting for Sanskrit scholars to know what a distinguished Digambara Jaina author, who lived at time when Buddhism still prevailed in Southern India, has to say regarding this sect.
The Jaina work entitled Achdrasura, which is in verse, and its Kannada commentary which is in prose, were both composed by Viranandi on Monday the first of the bright balf of Jyêghtua in the cyclic year Srimukha and Saka 1076, as we learn from the colophon:
