Any songs related to the story
Certainly! In Jainism, many devotional songs (bhajans, stavans, stutis) are composed to narrate or praise the stories of Tirthankaras, Kevalis, and other significant figures. These songs often recount episodes from the lives of Lord Mahavira, Lord Parshvanatha, and other Tirthankaras, as well as stories of great shravaks (lay followers) and sadhvis (nuns).
Examples of Jain Songs Related to Stories:
- Mahavir Swami Ke Janm Katha Bhajan
Many bhajans narrate the story of Lord Mahavira’s birth, such as: “Chhappan Kumariyo Ne Sapna Joya Re, Mahavir Avtar Thayo” (Fifty-six maidens saw dreams, the incarnation of Mahavira happened.)
- Parshvanath Bhagwan Ki Katha
Bhajans and stavans like: “Parshvanath Prabhu Katha Amar, Suno Sadhak Dhyan Dharo” (The story of Lord Parshvanath is immortal; listen, O seekers, and contemplate.)

While not a “story song,” the Bhaktamar Stotra is a famous Jain hymn with 48 verses composed by Acharya Manatunga, and its recitation is often accompanied by stories of its miraculous effects.
