eats them with tolerance. Thus he bade Siha, General of the
Licchavis, who became his disciple after being an adherent of Nataputta
to continue to give alms as before to Nigantha ascetics (Mahavag. VI.
32).]

[Footnote 267: Especially among the Ajivikas. Their leader Gosala had a
personal quarrel with Mahavira but his teaching was almost identical
except that he was a fatalist.]

[Footnote 268: Uttaradhyayana. XXIII. 29.]

[Footnote 269: According to Svetambara tradition there was a great
schism 609 years after Mahavira's death. The canon was not fixed until
904 (? 454 A.D.) of the same era. The Digambara traditions are different
but appear to be later.]

[Footnote 271: So Buehler, Pillar Edict no. VIII. Senart Inscrip. de
Piyadasi II. 97 translates somewhat differently, but the reference to
the Jains is not disputed.]

[Footnote 273: Rice _(Mysore and Coorg from the Inscriptions_, 1909, p.
310) thinks that certain inscriptions at Sravana Belgola in Mysore
establish that this tradition is true and also that the expedition was
accompanied by King Candragupta who had abdicated and become a Jain
ascetic. But this interpretation has been much criticised. It is
probably true that a migration occurred and increased the differences
which ultimately led to the division into Svetambaras and Digambaras.]

[Footnote 276: Similar tolerance is attested by inscriptions (_e.g._
Guerinot, nos. 522 and 5776) recording donations to both Jain and Saiva
temples.]

[Footnote 277: They also make a regular practice of collecting and
rearing young animals which the owners throw away or wish to kill.]
