A. N. UPADHYE-Studies in Jaina Gotras. (J. A., II, 3, Pp. 61-69, Arrah, 1936).
After discovering three lists of Gotras etc. among the Jainas, the sources of the material that formed these lists are discussed in this paper with adequate references from inscriptions etc. where also some Gotras etc. are mentioned. It is shown here how the names of Gotras are drawn from the lists of Yaksas; the Pravaras from the Sahasranama of Jinasena ; Sutras from the lists of Ganadhara. mukhyas etc.; and the Sākhās from the various subdivisions of Śrutajñāna. And in conclusion it is shown that these lists must have been supplemented, now and then, till the 13th century A. D.
