TULSI-PRAJNA
Pataliputra. From the Brhat Kathā Koşa of Harisenen it is evident that Srāvasti had become a famous centre of the Digambaras. Similarly the Vividhathirtha Kalpa of Jinprabha Suri is a good work on Jaina Pilgrimage and has its importance for giving valued geographical and historical information of the area under review.
Author concludes that the Muslim conquest no doubt, gave the last blow to the tottering cdifice of Jainism in Bihar and Muhammadbin-Bakhtiar razed temples to ground, massacred Jaina communities and burnt the manuscripts.
