Jain Miniature Paintings from Western India c6.348

c6.348

To the end of the 15th century also belongs another manuscript of the Kalpasūtra from the collection of Muni Kāntivijayaji in the Ātmānanda Jñāna Mandir, Baroda, bearing the catalogue number 2188. This manuscript is in a very bad state of preservation, though the golden ink of the text still retains its brilliancy. There are twenty-nine miniatures in all. As a point of interest, on the folio 87 of this manuscript is mentioned the date of the composition of the Kālakāchārya-kathā by Achārya Dharmaprabha Sūri in 1332 A.D.⁴⁵.
