Introduction

The hardcore followers of Jainism generally enriched the domain of Prakrit literature by writing choicest dissertations in Prakrit. The Aruyogadara sutta, however, admits that equal importance should be given to Sanskrit as well as Prakrit. There we find the following verse :-

"sakyaya payaya ceva

bhaniio hoti dammi va

saramandalammi gijjam to

paryatha isibhasiya"

In fact the Jaina savants had no other way alternative but to take resort to Sanskrit in order to establish their tenets of thoughts. They attempted to prove insignificance of the ideas and principles of the heterodox systems of Indian philosophy which had been all along written in Sanskrit. But this cannot be held for good so far their literary activities are concerned.

The Harivamsapurana of Jinasena Svayambhu, the Mahapurana of Gunadhara,the Trisastisalaka of Purusacarita, the Pandavacarita Mahakavya of Devaprabhasuri and such other Jaina works as Pandavapurana, Pandavacarita etc. are some of the notable contributions of the Jainas.
