A. C.-Review of the Silappadikāram or the Lay of the Anklet (translated with an introduction and notes) by V. R. Ramachandra Dikshitar. (Jain Ant. vol. VI; No. II; Arrah: 1940; Pp. 64-66).
Mr. DIKSHITAR bases his conclusion that Ilango, the author of Silappadikāram could not have been a Jaina by faith for he attended the fire sacrifice performed by the Chera king, his brother, who is assumed to be a Sanatanist Hindu by faith. In Tamil, the term Velvi is always used to denote 'fire ritual while Veda-vevi is used to denote Vedic sacrifice involving animal slaughter. Fire ritual has never been condemned by Jains, while they were opposed to Vedic sacrifice on the ground of Ahimsā. Ilango was a Jaina by faith.

Hiralal JAIN---Remnants of the 12th Jaina Srutanga Ditthivada. (Jain Ant. vol. VI; No, II; Arrah; 1940; Pp. 75-81).
(1) Tradition about the Angas; (2) How fragments of Diţthivuda were saved from oblivion; (3) Period of restoration; (4) Commentaries on the restored texts; (5) Variations in the texts and dogmas and the language of the Sūtras; (6) Extent of Ditfhivada and relation to it of the Satkhandāgama.
It is noteworthy that the Svetāmbara Jainas have preserved versions of the first eleven Angas but they take the twelfth Anga to be entirely lost. The eleven Angas are disowned by the Digambara school which, however, has scrupulously preserved the above mentioned portions of the twelfth Anga unknown to the Śvetāmbaras. The two traditions thus inscrutably seem to complement each other.
