G. BÜHLER-On the Indian sect of the Jainas. Translated (and) edited by J. BURGESS. London, 1903.
This work contains three parts : 1. The Indian sect of the Jainas, translation of the memoir of G. BÜHLER.
II. Appendix : Epigraphic testimony to the continuity of the Jaina tradition. A note, moreover enough extensive of the memoir of BÜHLER (Note 35) has been combined by M. BURGESS with another work of BÜHLER (on the authenticity of the Jaina tradition) in a unique article which proves, after the harmonious testimony of the inscriptions and of Kalpasūtra, the continuity of the tradition in the Jaina church in a period relatively remote (1st century of the Christian era).
III. Jaina mythology. This sketch, due to M. BURGESS himself, deals with the following points : The Tírthankaras in general. Lists of the 24 Tirthankaras with distinctive signs of each of them. Enumeration and classification of the gods. The hells. A list of the 84 Jaina gacchas terminate the work.
