The Rashtrakutas and their Times c20.s2.25

c20.s2.25

The Jain temples of our period had become replicas of the Hindu temples. The worship of Mahāvīra was just as sumptuous and luxurious as that of Viṣṇu or Śiva. Epigraphical records are seen making provision for his *angabhoga* and *rangabhoga* just as they do in the case of the Hindu deities. What a commentary on the doctrine of absolute *akiñchanatā* preached and practised by him!
