Kalipada MITRA-Magic and Miracle in Jain Literature. (Jain Ant. Arrah, Vol. VII; No. II; 1941; Pp. 81-88.)
There is abundant reference to magic in Jaina literature. It ranges from the gross and crude practices to avert the evil eye for the purpose of affording protection. against the baneful influences of planets or malignant spirits to the subtle penetration into one's mind to discover his thoughts and paralyse his energy, inducing magic sleep, going through the air, causing invisibility and the dreadful black art which compels obedience of human and divine victims to it.
