STUDIES IN EARLY JAINISM is a series of research articles completed over the last 15 years in India and overseas. There are 25 articles included in this publication. They are significant as they reflect the traditional beliefs, practices, legends and the tales of the common people through the medium of Prakrit literature, related to Jain studies. In order to explain his teachings to the common people Revered Mahavira used to employ similes, examples, parables and anecdotes from day-to-day life so that they felt convinced and satisfied.
These articles deal with various aspects of Jainism through Prakrit which was originally presumed to have been used by Mahavira and the early pontiffs of Jainism. Various Conferences, Seminars and University lectures in India and abroad offered the author opportunity to present his findings. These articles have been published from time to time in leading international Indian and foreign Oriental Journals.
The study of the Vasudevahindi (The Wandering of Vasudeva), composed around the 3rd or 4th century A.D. in archaic Jain Maharastri, is very significant as it is said to be one of the lost versions of Gunadhya’s Baddakaha (Brhatkatha), written in Paisaci dialect. The author got an opportunity to study this archaic text in the university of Kiel, West Germany, in the year 1970-1974. It is noteworthy that first of all Professor Dr. Ludwig Alsdorf of Hamburg University drew the attention of scholars to this text by presenting a paper titled Eine neue Version der verlorenen Brhatkatha des Gunadhya ( A New Version of the lost Brhtkatha of Gunadhya) at the International Oriental congress held in Rome in 1935. During his tenure in Kiel the author got an opportunity to discuss with him several important points with regards to the study of the Vasudevahindi. Dr. Alsdorf was also good enough to lend him his notes in German, but he prepared for further study of this text.
