Two records held together: Smithsonian Folkways Recordings' own catalogue page for the anthology "Religious Music of Asia," describing it as revealing, in the page's own words, "the diversity of Asian religious traditions... from the bare chants of Islam to the absence of vocals in Jainist worship," naming Jain worship outright as one of the traditions the record documents; and the Internet Archive's own hosted copy of the original Ethnic Folkways Library LP, independently confirming the complete 16-track listing, including track 6, titled "Jain Puja," the original 1967 release on the Ethnic Folkways Library label, and its catalogue number, FE 4481.
