JAINA BIBLIOGRAPHY
Definitions af religion according to different thinkers. Vedänta takes a monistic or idealistic view of life. Jainism and Samkhya philosophers take pluralistic or realistic view of it. Mahavir taught his tenents not in Sanskrit but in Ardhamagadhi, the vernacular of the masses. He treated all men and women equal without any distinction of caste or creed. In his assembly hall a compartment was allotted even to the animal. He laid emphasis on the theory of Karman, i.e., 'as a man has sown so shall he reap'. Theory of 'Anekäntaväda'-many sided view of a thing. Anekantarada propounds 'No judgment is true in itself and by itself Every judgement as a piece of concrete thinking is informed, conditioned to extent and constituted by the appercepient character of the mind.'
