In Jain stories, “it” is used as a teaching method to convey dharma, karma, ahimsa, satya, aparigraha, and the consequences of conduct in a simple and memorable way.

Jain stories often serve these purposes:

• To teach right conduct through examples of noble souls, kings, monks, and lay followers.
• To explain karma by showing how actions bring results across births.
• To inspire ahimsa by highlighting compassion toward all जीव.
• To encourage detachment from worldly pride, possessions, and desire.
• To present the lives of Tirthankars, Ganadhars, Shravaks, and Shravikas as models of spiritual discipline.
• To make religious principles easy to understand for children and common people.

In Jain tradition, stories are not only for entertainment; they are used to purify thought, strengthen faith, and guide the soul toward liberation.

If you want, I can also explain the role of stories in Jain scriptures like Uttaradhyayan Sutra, Samaysar, or Kalpasutra.
