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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor the first time, Sudhamahi Regunathan has translated a selection of these and other stories from Jaina literature into English.
