Jaina's philosophical literature is rich. Umasvati whom Prof. Suali would place as early as 300 A. D., in his Tattvarthanthigama Sutra expounds the doctrine of categories and theory of Pramanas. Even in 17th century we have great logician in Yaso Vijaya Gani who wrote great number of works on Logic. Another commendable thing is some of these Jaina philosophical works is their liberal attitude towards other religious beliefs. A study of Shaddarshanasamucchaya reveals this.
Jaina contribution is noteworthy.
Somadeva Suri, the author of Niti Vakyamrta can be compared well with the classical Indian Niti writers like Kautilya and Sukra. The Jaina have a due share in the development of Arts in the country. In honor of their saints they erected Stupas as the Buddhists with their accessories of stone railings, umbrellas, decorated gateways and pillars and statues. The Jaina marble temples at Mount Abu in Rajasthan belonging to the eleventh century and later. We find evidence for it in Jaina literature.
