Samaajik kahaani ya kuch Digambar granthon me aisi kahaaniya milti hain ki Buddha ke kuch guruon me se ek Jain the. Bharat ke prachin dharmo me kayi baar itihas‑kathaayein milti hain jo mukhya dharma ki vyakhya se alag roop mein pesh ki jaati hain. Jain dharma ki drishti se:

• Kendriya, paramparik Jain granthon (Digambar aur Shwetambar dono ki wajah se) mein aam taur par Mahavira ko 24th Tirthankar mana jata hai, aur Buddha ko Jain guru ki roop mein samanya roop se nahi maana jata.
• Kuch Digambar graanth ya legends me aisi kahaaniyan mil sakti hain jahan Buddha ki seekh ya unke guru ke roop mein kisi Jain vyakti ka ullekh milta hai. Ye kahaaniyaan vishesh sampradaay ki lok‑kathao me milti hain, lekin yah sabhi Jain sampradayaon ki vyakhyaon ka mool roop nahin hain.
• Is tarah ki kahaniya Digambar aur Shwetambar dono me alag tarah se samjhi ja sakti hain. Kuch granthon me in kahaaniyon ko ullekh milta hai, par anya granthon me inka sandarbh nahi milta.

Agar aap chahein to main aapke liye sidhe Digambar aur Shwetambar ke vishesh granthon ki arth‑saar (arth) aur spashti vyakhya de sakta/ sakti hoon, ya aise kahanion ke exact references (kitab, adhyaay) batane ki koshish kar sakta/ sakti hoon. Batayein, main sirf Jain dharm ke sandarbh me, sahi aur samvedansheel arth pradan karunga/karungi.
