Mrs. Rhys Davids thinks³ that Isidāsī's verses in the Therīgāthā suggest late literary craft and bear the impress of late literary creation. The scene is Pāṭaliputta, and not any of the usual towns mentioned in the Canon, and the name of Isidāsī's sponsor—Jindattā—is, she says, significant. Perhaps there are traces here of Jainistic influence.
