BIBLIOGRAPHY
Only works to which reference is made in the notes are listed here. The following points should be borne in mind.
1. One of the aims of this work is to be of use for a thorough study of the Jaina tradition. This being the case, in order to facilitate a knowledge of the Agamas and doctrinal works - the various editions of which present divergences as regards the internal arrangement and sequence of the texts - I have followed this principle: the original of the texts given in the notes is taken from the first edition of the original mentioned in this bibliography, but, to enable interested readers who know neither Präkrit or Sanskrit to place these texts in their correct context, all the references given in the notes (whether of a text quoted or a mere reference) are those of the first English or Hindi (if there is no English) translation mentioned in this bibliography. The other original texts and translations mentioned thereafter have also been consulted. For example:
All the quotations in the original of the AS are taken from the edition produced by Muni Nathamala; and all the references to this Agama, as regards its content, are also based on this edition.
However, the numbering of these quotations and references follows that given in the edition of Jacobi SBE, vol. XXII. In this way readers will have no difficulty in finding a quoted text, or references and their context, in the English translation.
Mention of the edition produced by Muni Jambūvijaya is an indication that it has been consulted.
It should be noted that certain editions give the original Prakrit along with Sanskrit and English translations (e.g. DravSam; DS; SamSa) or the origingal Sanskrit along with a Hindi translation (e.g. Adh, of which there is no English translation). Sometimes, also, the edition gives the original Präkrit along with a Sanskrit translation (e.g.
