These are all the instances where the Buddhists and the Jains are at all mentioned. A significant point of omission also may be considered. Monasteries and such other architectural objects as are intimately associated with Buddhism and Jainism, have not been referred to, while the minute details of Brahmanical Hindu temples have been rather elaborately described. From all this, two points seem to me to be clear. First, the Buddhists and the Jains, at the time of the *Māna-sāra*, were not in a flourishing condition, secondly, they were not persecuted either. It was apparently a time of toleration for them.
