Benjamin ROWLAND. The Art and Architecture of India Buddhist, Hindu, Jain, Melbourne, London, Baltimore, 1953.
Pp. 30-31. Jainism: Foundation ascribed to Mahāvira (599——527 B.c.); its goal attainment of salvation through rebirth, as escape from the retribution of conduct, or krama; salvation through the practice of asceticism and through the scrupulous avoidance of injuring or killing a living creature. Mahāvīra, a leader of a revolt against the orthodox cult of Brahmanism. In Jain literature and art the lives of Tirthankaras are embellished with miraculous events.
P. 73. Many vihāras dedicated to the Jain faith at Khandagiri and Lalitagiri in Orissa.
P. 140. Dependence of Jain art on Buddhist prototypes; a colossal statue of a Tīrthankara at Muttra (plate 81A) could be mistaken for a dhyāna mudra, were it not for the nudity of the figure. The proportion of the body, technical aspects of carvings, lotiform eyes, representation of the hair by snailshell curls are identical with Buddha images of the Gupta period; the nude Harappa torso-abstract conception of the budy in smooth and unencumbered curved plans are intended to connote the perfection of a great man in yogic trance, a spiritual state of being in which the body becomes immaculate-purified of the dross of material existence.
Pp. 178-79. Jain sanctuaries of Mount Abū—the final baroque culmination of the Gujarat style. Dilwārā shrine of the 10th century and the 13th century Tejpal temple (plate 110) can be counted among the architectural wonders of the world. Description given.
Pp. 200-01. Wall painting of Jain temple at Sittanavāsal (Fig. 31); description given. Jain paintings in the Indra Sabha cave, Ellura.
P. 202. Jain painting at Gujarat: Illustrations of Jain texts, such as the life of Mahāvīra, or the Kalpa sutra; Plate 130. Description given.

G. N. SHARMA. Some aspects of Mewari school af painting. The 16th, 17th and 18th centuries (Ind. Hist. Cong. 17th Ses. Ahmedabad), 1954.
