A fact from Purvas appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 19 November 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that according to Jainism, the first Purva of ancient knowledge would take a volume of ink equal to an elephant to write, whereas the last would require the ink volume of 213 elephants?
This section read like a Babelfish translation to me, so I did the best I could patching it up without altering any meaning. Re-reading the passage, I have a hard time seeing any encyclopaedic information, but, this may just be a case wherein the jargon hides the content (I'm sure, to someone unfamiliar with cell biology, certain articles would also seem completely nonsensical). To improve this article, I think this section either needs to be integrated into the article, or given greater context so that someone who is unfamiliar with the terminology can still understand the gist of what is being said.
