Origin of Hinduism and Jainism lost in obscurity. Tenets and practices similar in all religions. Some of the practices in Jainism vehemently attacked by Hindus and Buddhists were included in their own religious doctrines.
Achelakas (Jain naked saints) and their practices described by Buddba in Angutlara Nikaya-Achelaka Bagga ; Manosoathapurani and Dandavaggo. Hindus also have naked saints e. g. Sivaite sect. Siva and Kali are naked. Paribrājakas and nudity. Non-bathing non-cleaning and spare eating common to the Jains, the Buddhists and the Hindus. Rules regarding eating, sleeping, waking, movements and action in these three religions. Rules regarding staying in one place during the rainy season also common. Buddha allowed saints to live in Bihārs. The Panchasila of the Buddhists and the yāmas of the Hindus are the same as five Mahabratas of the Jains.
Seeing these similarities in the rules for ascetics, western scholars like Max MULLER in Hilebert Lectures, BÜHLER in his translation of the Baudhayana Sūtra. KERN in his History of Buddhism in India, and JACOBI in his introduction to the translation of the Jain Sütras have come to the conclusion that the originals of the monastic orders of the Jainas and Buddhists are to be found in the Hindu ascetic,
