RT Article T1 The Reincarnation(s) of Jaya and Vijaya: A Journey through the Yugas JF Religions VO 8 IS 9 SP 1 OP 7 A1 Rosen, Steven 1942- LA English PB MDPI YR 2017 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1586240870 AB Among the earliest reincarnation narratives found in India's Puranic texts, we find the stories of Jaya and Vijaya, the two gatekeepers of the spiritual world. Though there is little in these stories to explain reincarnation in a philosophical sense, the teaching of transmigration is implicit in the stories themselves, for we follow the two gatekeepers through three successive incarnations (along with the three incarnations of the divine who follow them through their various lifetimes).
