Description

Regarded by the Jains as the earliest, most comprehensive summary of their religion, this text brings together classical commentaries from each tradition, and provides a detailed explanation of the universe, the place of humanity within it and the path through the cosmos to liberation. This book is the only extant sacred text recognized by all Jain sects.
