The manuscript, made in the eighteenth century, includes illustrations and cosmic diagrams.\r\nThe recto of this folio shows five of the seven jewels of a Vasudeva and five wheeled vehicles (Vimanas). The jewels are: sword, jewel, staff, garlands and conch. The first two jewels of Vasudeva are shown on the previous folio of the manuscript (folio 42, Museum number IS.35:44-1971). Vasudeva is in Hinduism an epithet of the god Krishna, but in the Jain tradition the Vasudevas are nine minor deities whose attributes relate to those of Krishna. Vasudeva is described in Jain texts as dark skinned and dressed in yellow garments. The Vimanas are celestial vehicles. The verso (numbered 43) shows four more Vimanas.","physicalDescription":"A complete illustrated manuscript of the Samgrahanisutra or Sangrahanisutra, a Jain cosmographical text in Sanskrit composed in A.D.1136 by Shrichandra Muni, whose name appears on f.52 of this copy. The work is also named at the end as the Trailokya dipi, which is more usually applied to the Sangrahani Sutra of Jinabhadragani Kshamashramana, the earliest work of this class. The work is accompanied by an interlinear text in smaller devanagari script, which is possibly the commentary of Devabhadra. This manuscript is written on 56 oblong folios of paper of which two folios (10a and 12a) are not numbered, the last numbered folio being 54. The outer folios are of double thickness and decorated with a central ogee medallion and floral motifs on their outer faces. The copy is undated but appears to have been written and illustrated in Western India during the 18th century.\r\nThis folio (1) recto is a chitraprshthika painting (a cover design).\r\nFolio 1 verso (numbered 1) is text.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"ink","id":"AAT15012"},{"text":"paint","id":"AAT15029"},{"text":"paper","id":"AAT14109"}],"techniques":[{"text":"painted","id":"AAT54216"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Painted in ink and paint on paper","categories":[{"text":"Jain","id":"THES49013"},{"text":"Religion","id":"THES48900"},{"text":"Manuscripts","id":"THES48922"},{"text":"Illustration","id":"THES48938"},{"text":"Paintings","id":"THES48917"}],"styles":[{"text":"Western Indian","id":"AAT19057"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"SSEA","id":"THES48598"},"images":["2015HJ3994","2015HJ3995","2006AB7496","2006AB7483"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"009","id":"THES403524"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Manuscript","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"India","id":"x29790"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"Western"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"18th century","earliest":"1700-01-01","latest":"1800-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Length","value":"25.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"11.7","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Manuscript page, <i>Sangrahanisutra</i>, ink and paint on paper, Western India, 18th century","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Moti  Chandra and U.P.Shah, ' New Documents of Jaina Painting'."},{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Shri Mahavira Jaina Vidalaya Golden Jubilee Volume (Bombay 1968), Pt.
