From One Birth to Another: Stories from Jaina Literature
https://www.midlandbookshop.com/s/607fe93d7eafcac1f2c73ea4/60ba528e4fdecc75738df6c1/9789353026066.jpg
The Jaina Agamas are believed to have come down from Mahavira. Some of them even pre-date him. The stories in the agamas were conceptualized as a means to convey the austere teachings of the Jainas in a more relatable 'entertaining' manner.
For the first time Sudhamahi Regunathan has translated a selection of these and other stories from Jaina literature into English. Ranging from the funny to the tragic each story has a lesson embedded in it. A dancing girl who teaches a monk the meaning of restraint a butcher's son who is pressurized by his family to continue his father's violent profession a young man who wants to study the Kamasastra and more such colourful and interesting characters populate the pages of this book.
