In Jainism, the Ramayana is told differently from the Hindu version. In many Jain retellings, Rama (often called Padma) is shown as a virtuous, non-violent figure who ultimately renounces the world and attains moksha.

• On Vali: In a common Jain version of the Ramayana, Rama is described as killing Vali (Vali/Bali). This act is presented within a context that questions violence and emphasizes karma, dharma, and Rama’s eventual renunciation. Some Jain texts even portray Rama with a strong emphasis on ahimsa, and later interpret the story to mitigate or critique the violence. You can read more about the Jain Ramayana storyline here

• On Ravana: In many Jain versions, Ravana is not killed by Rama. Instead, Lakshmana is described as killing Ravana, aligning with Jain themes of non-violence and karmic consequences. Rama then becomes a Jain monk and achieves moksha. This is part of the broader Jain retellings where the life and actions of Rama are interpreted to fit Jain ethics. You can read a summary here

• About the tradition: There are different Jain Ramayana texts (notably Padmapurana by Raviseṇa) and traditions (Digambar, Shwetambar) that sometimes have variations in details, but the overarching theme is a strong emphasis on non-violence, renunciation, and the spiritual goal of moksha.

If you’d like, I can point to more specific Jain scriptural details or verses from Padmapurana that discuss Rama, Vali, and Ravana.
