A History of the Canonical Literature of the Jainas c2.3

c2.3

In this work I have given quotations *in extenso* in order that the general reader may be saved the trouble of procuring the original works, and may still judge for himself. I have given at the end two Indexes. Of these the first deals mainly with the names of authors and other personages and sects and tribes and the like. It has been compiled and arranged according to the *English* alphabet by my eldest son Vipinacandra B. A. (Hons.).¹ The second is more extensive. It includes the names of works, their sections etc., arranged according to the *Nāgarī* alphabet by my daughter Manoramā, and it is checked by my younger son Vibodhacandra. For the purposes of Indexes only the modern transliteration-system has been adopted. Accordingly Gaina is given under "Jaina" and so on.
