The Lokavibhāga is a Jain cosmological text originally composed in Prakrit by a Digambara monk, Sarvanandin,[1] surviving in a later Sanskrit translation by one Siṃhasūri.[2] It was wrongly said by Ifrah to contain the oldest known mention of numeral zero ("0") as Khmer numerals from the seventh century also have 0 as a numerical value. However Khmer numerals have separate numerals for 10, 20 etc so are not a decimal positional system and he says it is the oldest known mention of such[3]. Surviving manuscripts of the Lokavibhāga are listed in v.26 of the New Catalogus Catalogorum.[4] Parts of the Bakhshali Manuscript on arithmetic, which does use a physically written symbol for zero, have been carbon-dated, but the results of this dating are puzzling and are still being debated.[5]

The printed edition of the Lokavibhāga states that the original Prakrit work was composed by Sarvanandin at Patalika in the Banarastra on a certain day the astronomical details of which are given. These correspond to 458 CE. The surviving text is a Sanskrit translation of Sarvanandin's work by one Simhasūri, made "some considerable time" after that date of Sarvanandin.[6]
