________________ 50 JAINISM from Bihar. The teaching of Digambaras spread in South India and of Shvetambaras mainly in North India and gradually became more known in its western regions. Suan Tsyan observes that in the seventh century A.D., Jainism was strong only in the homeland of Mahavir, i.e. in Vaishali6 but in the succeeding centuries Brahmanism forced it out from there also and this religion was practically forgotten in the eastern regions of India. 16. Bihar Through the Ages, p. 131.
