THE JAINS- 309L 



on the earth, in the sky, or in water, are furnished 

 with five senses : and so are gods and men, and the 

 inhabitants of hell.' 



The first chapter begins with the synonyma of a 

 Jina or deified saint: among which the most common 

 are Arhat, Jineswara, Tirtlmncara or Tirtliacara: 

 others, viz. J'lna^ Sarmjnyay and Bhagavat, occur 

 also in the dictionary of Amera as terms for a Jma 

 or BudcVha ; but it is deserving of remark, that nei- 

 ther Budd'ha, nor Sugata, is stated by Hemachan- 

 jDiiA among these synonyma. In the subsequent 

 chapter, however, on the subject of inferior gods, 

 after noticing the gods oi' Hindu mythology, (Indra 

 and the rest, including Brahma, Sec.) he states the 

 synonyma of a Budd'ka, Sugata, ox Bodliisatzva ; and 

 afterwards specifies seven such, viz. Vipasvi, Sic'hi, 

 Vis'wANNA, Cucuch'handa, Ca'nchana, and Ca's- 

 YAPA*, expressly mentioning as the seventh Budd'- 

 HA, Sa'cyasinma, also named Serva'rt'hasidd'ha, 

 son of Sudd'hodana and Maya', a kinsman of the 

 sun, from the race of Gautama. 



In the first chapter, after stating the general terms 

 for a. Jina or j4r hat ; the author proceeds to enume- 

 rate twenty-four Arhats, who have appeared in the 

 present Avasarpini age : and afterwards observes, that 

 excepting Munisuvrata and Ne'mi, who sprung 

 from the race of Hart, the remaining twenty-two 

 Jiiias were born in the line of Icshw'acu '\. The 

 fathers and mothers of the several Jinas are then men- 

 tioned ; their attendants ; their standards or charac- 



* Two of these names occur in Captain Mahony's and Mr. JoiN- 

 ville's lists of live Budd'has. As. Res. vol. 7, p. 32 and 414. 



f I understand that tlie Jainas have a niytholofjical poem en- 

 titled Harivansd piirdnd, different from the Harivansu of the ortho- 

 dox. Their IsCHW ACU, lilicwise, is a different person ; and the name 

 is said to be a title gf their firit JiNA, RisuABA dkya.
