SYMBOL WORSHIP IN JAINISM
103 tantric rites and practices which were originally prohibited to Jaina monks and which were against the very principles of Jainism.
Later Digambara manuscripts of the Pañca-Namaskara-kalpa, and Svetämbara manuscripts of the Pañca-Parameşthi-kalpa are still available in the different Jaina Bhāndāras. This class of small tantric texts (kalpa) ca the Namaskara-mantra await a special critical study.
