Ibid I. 24-25 3. Puspadanta–Mahāpurāņa Vol. I, P. 9. The definitions of Purāna found in the Hindu Purānas may be noted here : सर्गश्च प्रतिसर्गश्च वंशो मन्वन्तराणि च । वंशानुचरितं चैवं पुराणं पञ्चलक्षणम् ॥ The Brahmavaivartapurāņa, however, says that the five laksanas are only for the Upapuranas, while Mahapuranas ("the great Puranas") have "ten laksanas" including “praise of Visnu and the gods individually". The Bhāgavatapurāņa likewise mentions "ten laksanas" of the Purana in two places (II. 10.1 and XII. 7.8 ff.) 4. Jacobi. Winternitz, Glasenapp, to mention a few only. 5. The word 3fe-occurs in Rgveda 1, 89. 6, but it has nothing to do with the Jain Tirthakara. 6. For example of the title of Śīlācārya's work—“Caupannamahäpurisacariya" or the word Uttamapurisa' used in this connection in the Samavāyānga. 7. Winternitz (Hist. of Indian Lit. Vol. II, p. 505) translates it as "which form as it were lines of demarcation among the monks". 8. कस्यचिद् वस्तुनोऽनेकभेदज्ञापनार्थं कोष्ठकरेखासु २४ तीर्थकराः १२ चक्रिणः ९ बलदेवाः ९ वासुदेवाः ९ प्रतिवासुदेवाश्चेति त्रयष्षष्टि शलाकापुरुषाः । 9. See Dr. Upadhye's Introduction to Brhatkathākośa and Winternitz's History of Indian Literature Vol.II. 10. For example, the Adipurāņa of Jinasena or the Trişastiśalākāpuruşacarita of Hemacandra and Pārsvanāthacaritra of Bhāvadeva Sūri. 11. Vol. II. pp. 486-519. 12. see, e.g., Pc. 118.111 13.
