P. 31. The ruins of the city of Rājagriha visited by the Jains at a spot sixteen miles south-west of Behar.
Pp. 156-158. Dr. HAMILTON says, speaking of the Śrāvakas or Jains, a still existing Buddhist sect in India, that they worship twenty-four great teachers, who are called either Avatāras or Tirthankaras. The series of twenty-four patriarchs may be assumed to be the same as the Jain twenty-four patriarchs. RHODE supposes the Jains to be descendants of the asuras and rakshas. Bodhidharma headed a new school in Southern India, and was heretical as viewed from the Jains' standpoint.
