Focus on both systematic expositions of religious doctrine (sastra, darsana), and on narrative theologies (katha, carita, avadana) to facilitate comparison between the two religious traditions. Three lecture hours a week for one semester. Sanskrit 330 (Topic: Buddhist and Jain Sanskrit) and 330F may not both be counted. Prerequisite: Sanskrit 312L with a grade of at least C.
