The Jambūdvipa Laghusangrahani And The Modern Science
141
Jambūdvipasangrahani, is mentioned by Peterson, M. K. Mehta, M. N. Doshi, Pandit Hargovindadas, Pannyas Kalyanavijay, Pandit Bechardas Doshi etc., but on the page No.48 of the same book, the list of works of Śri Haribhadrasūriji Mahārāja is given according to bruhadvrtti i.e. sanskrit commentary written in Vikram era 1295 by Šri Sumatigani on verse No. 55 of Ganaharasaddhasayaga .e. Ganadharasārddhaśataka; it includes ' sangrahaniivetti' but not 'Jambūdvipasangrahani '. It is not clear which 'sangrahani' is meant by the word 'sangrahani' in 'sangrahanivștti'. In short, no strong ancient evidence is available to show that Yākinimahattarāsūnu Haribhadrasūriji is the author of this Laghusangrahani (Jambūdvipasangrahani).
3. People of today may find these statements about god to be untrue. The E.S.P. researchers find during experiements that some people describe their past birth. And their description is fully in full agreement with the description given in Jain scriptures. Please, see 'Science Discover Eternal Wisdom' by Muni Śri Amarendravijayji Mahārāja. ____4.जम्बूद्वीपलवणादयः शुभनामानो द्वीपसमुद्राः।७। द्विद्धिर्विष्कम्भाः पूर्वपूर्वपरिक्षेपिणो वलयाकृतयः ||८|| jambūdvipalavaņādayaḥ śubhanāmāno dvipasamudrāḥ.. 7.. dvird virviskambhaḥ pūrvapūrvapariksēpiņö valayākrtayaḥ ..8..

6. Jain cosmology has inspired many descriptions of this kind. There is also a tradition of manuscript illustration more than 1000 years old, which despite its age remains amazingly fresh.
