JAINA MYTHOLOGY.

The mythology of the Jainas, whilst including many of the Hindu
divinities, to which it accords very inferior positions, is altogether
different in composition. It has all the appearance of a purely
constructed system. The gods are classified and subdivided into orders,
genera, and species; all are mortal, have their ages fixed, as well as
their abodes, and are mostly distinguished by cognizances _chihnas_
or _la[`n]chha[n.]as_. Their Tirthakaras, Tirthamkaras, or perfected
saints, are usually known as twenty-four belonging to the present age. But
the mythology takes account also of a past and a future age or renovation
of the world, and to each of these aeons are assigned twenty-four
Tirthakaras. But this is not all: in their cosmogony they lay down other
continents besides Jambudvipa-Bharata or that which we dwell in. These are
separated from Jambudvipa by impassable seas, but exactly like it in every
respect and are called Dhatuki-kanda and Pushkararddha; and of each of
these there are eastern, and western Bharata and Airavata regions, whilst
of Jambudvipa there is also a Bharata and an Airavata region: these make
the following ten regions or worlds:--
