The world is self-created. The universe is eternal, without a beginning and without an end. The Kaleidoscopic phenomena of the universe are all due to change in form and shape; and to the interplay and reactions between the living and non-living substances, comprising the universe. The two substances, the living and the non-living, are eternal, uncreated, self-existing. They have ever been, shall ever remain. They are continually, every moment of time, changing in form and appearance but in substance they are unchangeable The doctrine of Karma is a special and distinguishing feature of Jain Philosophy. Jainism is a panacea against all ills.

H. R. Rangaswami IYENGAR Vidyānanda and Pätrakesari-Are they identical ? (P.O. Vol. XIII; 1948).
Pp. 57-63. Pātrakesari was a teacher of the Digambara school of the Jains... He must have lived sometime after Disnāga and before Dharmakirti. It is far from truth to say that Pātrakesari is identical with Vidyānanda, the author of Slokovārtika, who actually quotes from the works of Dharmakirti and is assigned to 9th century A.D.
