JAINA BIBLIOGRAPHY
the simpler texts proceed from a common source, and in all probability, Jain. As regards the more elaborate text, it is certain that its writer was a Jain, namely: Pürṇabhadra, who lived towards Samvat 1300.
The simpler text served as point of departure to a very extensive series of narratives.
Besides these two texts, M. E. LEUMANN has discovered among the manuscripts of Berlin a third Jain recension of the Pancalantra, entitled 'Pafchäkhyāna" (Some corrections of this treatise are indicated in the 'Seitschrift fur die Kunde des Morgnlandes' Vol. XVII, Pp. 300-301).
