Description
William Francklin’s ‘Researches on the Tenets and Doctrines of the Jeynes and Boodhists’ presents a comprehensive historical and religious analysis of two major Indian philosophical traditions. The author meticulously investigates the core beliefs and practices of Jainism and Buddhism, while offering intriguing conjectures about their potential links to the Brachmanes, the priestly class of ancient India.
A distinctive feature of this work is its detailed exploration of serpent worship within these religious contexts. Francklin examines how ophiolatry (serpent veneration) manifested across different Indian spiritual systems and its theological significance. This research contributes valuable insights into comparative religion and the interconnected nature of ancient Indian spiritual practices, making it an essential reference for scholars of religious history, Indology, and ancient philosophy.
