{"product_id":"from-one-birth-to-another-stories-from-jaina-literature","title":"From One Birth to Another: Stories from Jaina Literature","description":"The Jaina Agamas are believed to have come down from Mahavira. 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. For the first time, Sudhamahi Regunathan has translated a selection of these and other stories from Jaina literature into English. Ranging from the funny to the tragic, each story has a lesson embedded in it. A dancing girl who teaches a monk the meaning of restraint, a butcher's son who is pressurized by his family to continue his father's violent profession, a young man who wants to study the Kamasastra and more such colourful and interesting characters populate the pages of this book.","brand":"Sudhamahi Regunathan","offers":[{"title":"Trade Paperback","offer_id":51669642477874,"sku":"9789353026066","price":15.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/7934\/0850\/files\/9789353026066.jpg?v=1787958392","url":"https:\/\/53rdstreetbooks.com\/products\/from-one-birth-to-another-stories-from-jaina-literature","provider":"53rd Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
