Language: English

c8.65

In a passage of the Sūtrakṛtānga (Jaina Sūtras, II, p 411) a Jaina accuses Makkhali Gosāla of immoral habits but Buddha’s account prominently brings out the fact that the Ājīvikas were far from being profligate and immoral It is interesting to note that the idea of right living (sammā ājīvo) which the Ājīvikas advocated, was taken by the Jainas and Buddhists mainly from them.
