The Book is the first work of its kind where the scholar has collected the references to Jain doctrines from the vast literature of three systems of Indian Philosophy, namely Nyaya-vaisesika Vedanta and Buddhists for the first time. Organised in five Chapters the observationso f the scholar in the last chapter of conclusion is interestingly revealing. Unhesitatingly the author has passed remarks as to how jain doctrines are mistinterpreted, often out of the context and are branded as contradictory. In most of the cases the scholar has shown how the so called contradictions pointed out by rival schools are apparent without any substantial base and are justified in the main framework of their system.
