In his book *Chenweishilun*, Master Xuanzang also repudiated relevant Jain theories. For instance, the “saivites” mentioned in the book actually refers to some early-day Jain thinkers. In its first volume, the book dedicates some portions addressing the “saivites” theory, rejecting it as unreasonable and implausible. In addition, the book also mentioned some other Jain concepts when repudiating “ātma-grāha”.
