IV. The Bhadrabahucarita. This work dates from the end of the 15th century or from the commencement of the 16th. The author is Ratnanandin, disciple of Anantakirti.
1790
The language of the work: Detailed analysis of the four parischedas. According to this work, the Svetämbaras drew their origin from the Ardhajhalaka
sect. Critical remarks.
V. Conclusions: 1. A party of the Jaina monks male their way towards the South India, under the guidance of Bhadrabahu, towards 350 B.C. These monks were submitted to some ascetic rules more rigid than their colleagues living in the country of origin.
2. The difference of moral and of doctrine between the church of the South and that of the North, already manifest in the ancient time, led towards the commencement of the Christian era to antagonism that is ascertained today between the Digambaras and the Svetämbaras,
3. The two sects neither represent the primitive Jainism; they each have modified it on their side.
