The Doctrine of the Jainas, Described after the Old Sources c7.s2.33

c7.s2.33

I. The Jambuddīva in general, its enclosure with the gates therein. The continent of Bharaha. II. The division of time in Bharaha, the conditions of life in its different epochs *susama-susamā*, etc. (§ 120). The life of the 1st Titthagara Usabha during the *susama-dūsamā*, etc. mostly in correspondence with Jiṇac. 204-228. The solemn cremation of his corpse. III. Here a *Bharahacakkicariya* is inserted with the intention of showing how King Bharaha came to rule over the world thus giving the Bharaha vāsa its name.¹ IV. The remaining continents of the Jambuddīva and the "benches" separating them. V. How the gods honour a new-born future Titthagara by solemn ceremonies (§ 15). VI. A brief statistic survey of the geographical details of Jambuddīva (*Eravaya* here stands for *Erāv.*), continued at the end of the work, and here followed by VII, an astronomical section. In its contents (though not in its style) it frequently corresponds with the Sūrap., especially so with Sūrap. 18, 19. and parts of 10. New subjects dealt with are: visibility, presence and temperature of the suns (458b=Viy. 392a), circles of the nakṣatras (474a), sun and moon with ref. to Viy. 5, 1 and 10 (480a), the *karaṇa*, the beginnings of the year, the half-year, the months, etc., the mutual distance of the stars (531 b). The statistic survey now proceeds in giving dates regarding the Titthagaras, the Emperors etc. and their state-jewels in Jambuddīva, as well as the latter's dimensions, eternity, duration, contents, and names. Ending up in the legendary frame with which I. had been opened.
