Conclusion
The above description of theory of aggregations and specific aggregates of Jainas confirm that the theoretical concepts in this regard stand on better footing than the practical side. The description of visible or gross world seems to be quite incomplete and small. It must however be admitted that Prajñā-panā gives the best details of the period. Another fact emerging from the above is that the canons have differing or modified contents in nearly every specific case. It is therefore very necessary to collect and co-ordinate the material to present to the current man.
