Being adherents of but one of the many religious and philosophical traditions that evolved on the Indian subcontinent the Jains have necessarily had to find various ways in which to coexist and compete in the pluralistic Indian environment. Examination into the True Teaching by Jens W. Borgland focuses on one such way or strategy - namely that of philosophical debate and polemics - by translating and studying the Satyas a sanapari ks a (Examination into the true teaching) a 10th century doxography written by Vidyanandin one of the foremost Digambara Jain philosophers of the time.The text as it has come down to us presents and refutes twelve Indian philosophical teachings or schools - the most important of which are Sautra ntika and Yoga ca ra Buddhism Nya ya-Vais es ika Advaita Vedanta Mi ma m sa Sa m khya and Ca rva ka - with the aim of establishing the superior status of Jain philosophy as the one and only 'true teaching.' It thus offers us a window into the philosophical debates of the period from the perspective of a Digambara Jain philosopher.
