The summary

लेखक बताते हैं कि मगध से उत्कल जाते हुए महावीर छोटा नागपुर के मानभूम और सिंहभूम क्षेत्र से गुजरे, जहाँ जैनधर्म खूब फैला। खारवेल के काल में यहाँ जैन मन्दिर, चैत्य और श्रावक बस्तियाँ थीं, जिनके भग्नावशेष आज भी मिलते हैं। सराक जाति उन्हीं श्रावकों की वंशज है; वर्धमान नगर के नाम-पुनर्स्थापन के प्रयास का भी उल्लेख है।
