C. Purāņas based on
Trişaştiśalākāpuruşa
Some of the Jaisa-Purānas have as their subject matter the life of trişaşti-salākā-puruşa (Sixtythree great men). These are, the twenty-four Tirthankaras, twelve Cakravartins, nine Balabhadras, nine Nārāyaṇas and nine prati-Nārāyanas. The Mahā Purāna is the earliest of this kind in Sanskrit. The first part of it by Jinasena, is called Adipurāņa, which ends with pir vâņa of Ādinātha (Rşabhanāth), the first Tirthamlara. The second part, called Uttara Purāņa by Giņabhadre, narrates the lives of the remaining twenty three Tirihankaras and the rest o the Salākā Puruşas. Tte precise date of the composition of the Mabājviāņa is not koowo. But on the basis of internal evidence the Adipurāna may be placed in the nineth and the Uttara-Purāņa in the tenth Century A.D.
On the basis of Mahāpurāņa, the following works have been composed:
