Answer

The Jain version of the Mahabharata is most commonly known as the Harivamsha Purana in Jain tradition.

Explanation

In Jain literature, the stories connected with Krishna, the Pandavas, Kauravas, and the Mahabharata tradition are presented from a Jain spiritual viewpoint.

One important Jain text is:

• Harivamsha Purana by Acharya Jinasena

It gives a Jain retelling of the Harivamsha and Mahabharata-related narratives, while interpreting the characters according to Jain principles such as karma, non-violence, renunciation, and spiritual progress.

Spiritual Understanding

Jain versions of such epics are not merely historical or heroic stories. They are used to explain:

• the working of karma,
• the limits of worldly power,
• the consequences of violence and attachment,
• and the superiority of renunciation and liberation.

Takeaway

The Jain Mahabharata tradition is mainly associated with the Harivamsha Purana, especially the work of Acharya Jinasena.
