Which of the following Jain councils was convened under the patronage of Devardhi Kshamasramana to compile the canonical texts into written form?

💡 Solution & Explanation

The second Jain council held at Vallabhi in Gujarat around the fifth or sixth century CE resulted in the final compilation of the Svetambara Jain canon into written manuscripts under the supervision of Devardhi Kshamasramana. The earlier council at Pataliputra, convened under Sthulabhadra, attempted to compile the lost Purvas but resulted in sectarian divergences. Vallabhi emerged as a major center of learning and manuscript preservation in western India during the Maitraka dynasty.
