The Epitome of Queen Lilavati (Volume 2)

The second volume of Jina-ratna's thirteenth-century The Epitome of Queen Lil vati completes his story. Embodied souls undergo all too human adventures in a succession of lives, as they advance to final release. The primary purpose of Jain narrative literature was to edify lay people through amusement; consequently the stories are racy, and in some cases the moralizing element is rather tenuous.
