P. 129. The chief interest of the Jain monks, was religious, and the early literature was composed by them.
P. 130. Tains and others added to the folk tales, animal stories, fables, apologues, etc., a strong moralising element. Such stories or collections of stories were handed down for centuries by oral tradition, but in India they received a literary development earlier than anywhere else.
P. 134. There were many vernacular works in Prakrit, collections of tales which have been entirely lost. A few of the most famous have been preserved in later Jain and Buddhist and Sanskrit versions.
