________________ SM. S. SENGUPTA 19 Thus, the Jain account of Jambudvīpa agrees more or less with the Epic and Purāṇic accounts. For want of space, it is not possible to discuss them in detail.1* Though the Jains claim to be very · rational, their cosmography is not less imaginary than that of the Brāhmaṇical thinkers. 13 See Stevenson, Heart of Jainism, pp. 27271.
