Early Jain texts were not composed in Vedic or classical Sanskrit, but in Ardhamagadhi Prakrit language.[63] According to Matilal, the earliest Jain literature that present a developing form of a substantial anekantavada doctrine is found in Sanskrit texts, and after Jaina scholars had adopted Sanskrit to debate their ideas with Buddhists and Hindus of their era.[64] These texts show a synthetic development, the existence and borrowing of terminology, ideas and concepts from rival schools of Indian thought but with innovation and original thought that disagreed with their peers.[64] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7220.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7220.txt
