Though a divergence existed between the two sects in the early centuries of Christian era for a a long time the difference remained nominal. It was only in the late Medieval period that the gulf between the two became wide enough so much so that each of them began to mention its name on record in order to claim its clear cut distinction from the other. The inscriptions where an explicit reference to this distinction is noticed are all later than the 9th century A. D. Some epigraphic passages quoted.

Pp. 74-75. Simha VARMA-The Lokavibhāga date is suspect. The closing portion of Lokavibhāga given (Jain Anti. IV, Pt. 3, Pp. 114-115). Sarvanandin's original work was in Bhāşā and Simhanandi translated it into Sanskrit in the 22nd year of Simhavarman of Kanchi, 458 A. D. (S. 380).

P. 252).
