Muni Sarvanandin: Lokavibhaga
Published $\text {458}$
A Jain cosmological text.
History
It was written in Prakrit by Muni Sarvanandin.
It survives in a later Sanskrit translation.
It was wrongly supposed to contain the oldest known mention of the numeral zero.
Apparently earlier instances have since been found.
