General sketch all together historical and dogmatic of the Jaina religion: however, the historical point of view is predominant. The Jainas are especially numerous in the provinces of the west and of the north-west of India, as well as in the southern Dravidian districts. The two principal sects: The Digambaras and the Svetambaras-they were already separated before the first century of the Christian era. Organisation: the ascetics and the adepts. The doctrine in general; the deliverance and the paths of three Jewels:
1. The real faith: the Jinas.
2. The real knowledge: the nine truths: cosmology and dogmatics.
3. The real guidance: moral: the five oaths; the ascetic discipline and the rules of guidance of the laic adepts. Cult of the Jains. The cloisters and the development of the Jainism. Wording of the doctrine: the Angas. The Jainism is independant of the Buddhism. The resemblances between the two religions are explained by the fact that they are born in the same period and from the same movement of reaction against the Brahmanism.
