Additional Reading
Padmanabh S. Jaini, The Jaina Path of Purification (1979); and Paul Dundas, The Jains (1992), deal with the issue of the chronology and contemporaneity of the Buddha and Mahavira. Jaina Sutras, (Gaina Sûtras), trans. from Prakrit by Hermann Jacobi, 2 vol. (1884–95, reissued 1994–95), supplies the earliest Jaina accounts of Mahavira and his teachings. See also Kailash Chand Jain, Lord Mahavira and his Times, rev. ed. (1991) and K.C. Lalwani, Sramana Bhagavan Mahavira: Life & Doctrine (1975).
