Jaina Sutras Part I, passage 130
The first four great vows of the Sa/;myasin agree with those of the aina Bhikshu, and are enumerated in the same order. It is therefore probable that the 6*ainas have borrowed their own vows from the Brahmans, not from the Buddhists, because the latter have changed the order of the vows, making truthfulness either the third or fourth cardinal virtue instead of giving it the second place. Be- sides it is highly improbable that they should have imitated the Buddhists, when they had in the Brahmanic ascetics much older and more respected models.

(see II, i, i, 1 1).
Jaina Sutras Part I, passage 714

Through the influence of ignorance and carelessness the fool never knows the law. Men! unhappy creatures, world-wise are those who, not freeing themselves from ignorance, talk about final liberation : they turn round and round in the whirlpool (of births). Thus I say. (3)
