The Prakrit canonical literature is very valuable as besides the teachings of Mahavira and his disciples. It also contains social and cultural material unknown from Sanskrit or Pali sources. Apart from Prakrit works on poetry, narratives, the Jaina canon and philosophy, there are innumerable secular writings in Prakrit and other languages on Grammar, Metre, lexicography, mathematics, astrology and Smusic, and other subjects as well. This kind of literature contains various new insights with regard to the Wisdom of India and Universal Values, which are presented in this volume by renowned Scholars.
