Pp. 28-30. General considerations on the Jainism with respect to the inscriptions of Asoka.
Would not the Jains be the descendants of a Heterodox sect more ancient than the Buddhism ? Large spirit of toleration of the Jains. The Jainism has existed in India inspite of the persecution precisely because of this toleration, and also because the Jains occupied specially some regions or the Brahmanical power could not be fully exercised. Aśoka appeared to the author a Jaina king rather than Buddhist.
