Leaf from a Jain Manuscript: Colophon page, Kalpa-sutra and The Story of Kalakacharya
Leaf from a Jain Manuscript: Colophon page, Kalpa-sutra and The Story of Kalakacharya of Devachandra: Monk Teaching Lay Disciple, late 1200s. As is the case in many of the earliest surviving manuscripts of the Jain tradition, the paintings do not illustrate the content of the text. The Sanskrit text tells the story of a prince during the time of Mahavira who followed the Jain path of severe austerities, died, and was reborn as a supreme god in the Heaven of the Highest Bliss. The painting on this page depicts a Jain monk seated on a throne giving teachings to another monk and lay women and men in postures of veneration along the bottom of the composition. The monks wear plain white robes and carry whisks for sweeping the ground where they walk, so they will not harm any insects. They prevent accidental inhalation of insects by holding a piece of cloth in front of their mouths

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a leaf from a Jain Manuscript, specifically the colophon page of the Kalpa-sutra and The Story of Kalakacharya. Dating back to the late 1200s, this manuscript is an exquisite example of early surviving texts from the Jain tradition. Interestingly, the paintings within this manuscript do not directly depict the text's content. The Sanskrit text narrates a tale about a prince who embraced severe asceticism during Mahavira's time, ultimately passing away and being reborn as a supreme god in Heaven's Highest Bliss. On this particular page, we witness an enchanting painting portraying a Jain monk seated on an ornate throne while imparting teachings to another monk alongside lay women and men positioned below in postures of reverence. The monks are adorned in simple white robes and carry whisks used for sweeping their path so as not to harm any insects along their way. To prevent accidental inhalation of these tiny creatures, they hold pieces of cloth before their mouths—a testament to their deep respect for all forms of life. Crafted with opaque watercolor and ink on palm leaf during the reign of King Sarangadeva from the Vaghela dynasty (13th century), this masterpiece hails from Anahillapura in Gujarat, India. Preserved by The Cleveland Museum of Art today, it stands as an invaluable piece showcasing Western Indian heritage that continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide.
