Story is the heart of Folk-literature. In Indian literature the Jain and the Bauddha literature in the form of stories have special significance. In the Shraman tradition, the Jains and the Bauddhas have not only increased the story-literature but they have given a new direction to it. Such an invaluable storehouse of Jain story-literature has been presented in popular language. The main purpose of this Pushkar-Prasadi Series of Stories is to give moral advice through the medium of entertainment. The language of the stories is simple and palatable. The theme incidents and the narrated therein are attractive. The people of Gujarat will welcome this series also.
