________________ Story of Rama in Jain Literature 29. Sītāgātaka (also called Maithili-Kalyāṇanāțaka) by Hastimalla, son of Govindabhatta. 30. Trișașțisāra by Harişena, pupil of Vajrasena. These works noticed in the Jina-Ratna-Kosa probably do not contain any new remarkable features but repeat in their own language what the older Jain writers have already said. This long list of unpublished works is given here only to indicate the tremendous popularity of the Rama legend with the Jaias. With this background of the character and extent of the Jain Mythology and its distinguishing features from the Hindu Mythology we now turn to the study of the Jain Rāmāyaṇas, accessible to us.
