| 總結: | This paper examines an instance of Jaina Hindi canon-formation in the eighteenth century. The dynamics of transmission of Jaina Hindi works can be studied more easily than that of many other sectarian and non-sectarian compositions since Jainism produced an extraordinary manuscript culture in South Asia. Jainas paid particular attention not only to writing and copying manuscripts but also to their preservation as can be seen from the richness and good maintenance of the Jaina Bhandaras in Gujarat, Rajasthan and elsewhere. |
