(Jñānapīṭha Mūrtidevī Jaina Granthamālā: Saṃskṛta Grantha 10, 20). [1953], 5th edition New Delhi: Bharatiya Jnanpith 1999.

This resource reflects the texts of the T­a­ttvā­rtha­, T­a­ttvā­rtha­rā­ja­vā­rtti­ka and T­a­ttvā­rtha­rā­ja­vā­rtti­ka­vyā­khyā and is published alongside other digital resources for these works (see TA, TARV and TARVV). The resource at hand renders the specific texts of the edition by Mahendrakumar Jain (MK) in 1999. As a digitized print edition (p) this resource preserves specific editorial features, i.e., page and line breaks, notes, as well as the rendering of text in the center and in bold script, etc.

Main steps in the preparation: 2019: Diplomatic capture of Mahendrakumar Jains's edition by Aurochana, Auroville, India2020: xml-resource by Thomas Malten2026: TEI-resource by Himal Trikha2026: Integration DCV by Himal Trikha

H. Trikha created this resource during his occupations at the Institutes for South Asian, Tibetan and Buddhist Studies, University of Vienna, and for the Cultural and Intellectual History of Asia, Austrian Academy of Sciences. Substantial work was done in the project “Perspectivism and intertextuality in Vidyānandin’s works,” funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF Schrödinger project J 3880-G24). Trikha is especially grateful to Thomas Malten for organizing the capture of the printed edition and the intial xml-encoding.

Empty square brackets have been silently removed. Only some of MK's additions to the text in square brackets (ana="addition-of-text") have been accepted. ana="suggested-readings" in round brackets have not been accepted-

210 instances of quotation mark have been embedded in the q-tag, 962 remain to be worked on.

As of October 2026, the structure of the document ist wanting in terms of semantic consistence, because the document was digitized unsatisfactory. Linebreaks in noteblock and indexes could not be identified. The structure serves human readability (TARVV-MK-p) and the extraction of plain text (TARVV-MK-t).

Excluded in printed edition: backExcluded in plain text: ref, type=note-block-container, type=note-block-page-foot, notetype=inline-remark, notetype=inline-reading-suggestionnotetype=work-with-parallel, notetype=not-accepted, noteana=not-accepted, Non-accepted notes are indicted with brackets in full text. All such remarks are removed in plain-text. Accepted notes (ana="accepted", e.g., type="text-addition"), are indicated in full text with css-induced round-brackets. In plain text such brackets are not induced, the text-addtion therefore appear as part of the attestations' text. '\x{201C}|\x{201D}' => ''
