[Footnote 274:  Guerinot, Epig.  Jaina, no. 11.]

[Footnote 275:  Rice, Mysore and Coorg from the Inscriptions, 1909, pp. 113-114, 207-208.]

[Footnote 276:  Similar tolerance is attested by inscriptions (e.g. Guerinot, nos. 522 and 5776) recording donations to both Jain and Saiva temples.]

[Footnote 277:  They also make a regular practice of collecting and rearing young animals which the owners throw away or wish to kill.]

[Footnote 278:  Or Sthanakavasi.  See for them Census of India, 1911, 1. p. 127 and Baroda, p. 93.  The sect waa founded about A.D. 1653.]

[Footnote 279:  Their names are as follows in Jain Prakrit, the Sanskrit equivalent being given in bracketa: 

  1. Ayarangasuttam (Acaranga).
  2.
Suyagadangam (Sutrakritangam).
  3.  Thanangam (Stha.).
  4.  Samavayangam.
  5.  Viyahapannatti (Vyakhyaprajnapti).  This work is commonly known
     as the Bhagavati.
  6.  Nayadhammakahao (Jnatadharmakatha).
  7. Uvasagadasao (Upasakadasah).
  8.
Antagadadasao (Antakritad.).
  9. Anuttarovavaidasao (Anuttaraupapatikad.).
  10.  Panhavagaranaim (Prasnavyakaranani).
  11.  Vivagasuyam (Vipakasrutam).

The books marked with an asterisk have been translated by Jacobi (S.B.E. vols.  XXII. and XIV.), Hoernle and Barnett.  See too Weber, Indischie Studien, Bd.  XVI. pp. 211-479 and Bd.  XVIII. pp. 1-90.]

[Footnote 280:  It is called Arsha or Ardha-Magadhi and is the literary form of the vernacular of Berar in the early centuries of the Christian era.  See H. Jacobi, Ausgewaehlte Erzaehlungen in Maharashtri, and introduction to edition of Ayaranga-sutta.]

[Footnote 281:  The titles given in note 2 illustrate aome of its peculiarities.]

[Footnote 282:  When I visited Sravana Belgola in 1910, the head of the Jains there, who professed to be a Digambara, though dressed in purple raiment, informed me that their sacred works were partly in Sanskrit and partly in Prakrit.  He showed me a book called Trilokasara.]

[Footnote 283:  But see Jagmanderlal Jaini, l.c. appendix V.]

[Footnote 284:  Compare for instance Uttaradyayana X., XXIII. and XXV. with the Sutta-Nipata and Dhammapada.]

[Footnote 285:  I have only visited establishments in towns.  Possibly Yatis who follow a severer rule may be found in the country, especially among Digambaras.]

[Footnote 286:  In Gujarat they are called Cho-mukhji and it is said that when a Tirthankara preached in the midst of his audience each side saw him facing them.  In Burma the four figures are generally said to be the last four Buddhas.]

[Footnote 287:  This seems clear from the presence in Burma of the curvilinear sikra and even of copies of Indian temples, e.g. of Bodh-Gaya at Pagan.  Burmese pilgrims to Gaya might easily have visited Mt Parasnath on their way.]
