    who is writer of jain mahabharat and ramayana

    7 months ago 245

    • Jain Mahabharata
    - Primary authors: Acharya Jinasena (wrote the Adipurana and began the Mahapurana) and Acharya Guṇabhadra (completed the Mahapurana, including the Uttarapurāṇa). In the Digambara tradition these works are central; later, Hemachandra also composed a Ramayana-like portion within the broader Purāṇic tradition. ( en.wikipedia.org) - Key note: Harivamsa Purana (often associated with the Mahabharata-era narrative) is credited to Jinasena and later Gunabhadra; the Śvetāmbara tradition also preserves related Purāṇa material like Trishashti Shalaka Purusha Charitra by Hemachandra. Differences exist between Digambar and Śvetāmbara presentations. ( en.wikipedia.org)
    • Jain Ramayana
    - Padmapurana (Padma Purāṇa) — written in Sanskrit by Acharya Raviseṇa (Raviṣeṇa) in the 7th–8th century CE. This is the principal Jain retelling of Rama’s story in the Jain canon. ( jainknowledge.com) - Paumacariyam (Paumacariyu) — the early Jain Ramayana in Prakrit, attributed to Acharya Vimalasuri. This is often cited as the oldest Jain version of Rama’s life. ( jainknowledge.com) - Notes: Some later Śvetāmbara and Digambara authors retell the Ramayana in their own styles, but Padmapurana and Paumacariya are the foundational texts. The Jain Ramayana presents Rama as Padma, a virtuous soul who attains moksha, with Lakṣmaṇa often playing a key role in upholding dharma. Differences between traditions exist in emphasis and details.
