The Jain Canons, on which the present work is based do not belong to one particular period. They were compiled and redacted thrice between 4th century B.C. to 5th century A.D. The object of the thesis is to present the social materials embodied in the Jain Sūtras and exegetical literature and therefore the basis of the presentation is not in chronological order.
