The value of this Koša is, indeed, incomparable. it has manifold purposes. First of all, these quotations inform us the type of non-Jain texts that were utilised by the Jains.
In order to build and edifice of Jain thoughts and ideas, these quotations will help record the development of Jain philosophical ideas and concepts; and at the same time, the intellectual grows while meeting academic disputes. It is only from the citations of the Jain commentaries that we can write the history of their role in the development of Indian thoughts and ideas. It is seen from the Jaina Uddharaņa Kośa that in order to authenticate their arguments the Jain commentators adopted verses from the Rgveda, the Upaniṣads and some other philosophical texts.
The Jaina Uddharaņa Kośha is and enormous project of the BLII of which a long awaited 3rd volume is before you.
