"- Kural 57 and Manusmriti IX:12
- Kural 41 and Manusmriti III:78. This verse of smriti, Pillai
argues, has been reiterated by Tiruvalluvar more than once.
- Kural 396 and Manusmriti II:218

The very first chapter of Tirukkural is "kaDavuL vAzhthu" which means "Praise of Eesvara", now as far as I know Jaina's don't believe in Eesvara.
The case of Ilango Adigal (author of Silappathikaram) and and Tolkappiyar (author of first Tamil grammar Tolkappiyam) are also similar, they are both labelled Jaina but there is enough evidence contradicting the label, only Manimekalai is definitely a Bauddha work.
