जैन पुराण साहित्य

• bharatiy dharmagranthoan mean 'puran' shabd ka prayog itihas ke arth mean ata hai. kitane vidvanoan ne itihas aur puran ko pancham ved mana hai. chanaky ne apane arthashastr mean itivritt, puran, akhyayika, udaharan, dharmashastr tatha arthashastr ka samavesh kiya hai. isase yah siddh hota hai ki itihas aur puran donoan hi vibhinn haian. itivritt ka ullekh saman hone par bhi donoan apani apani visheshata rakhate haian. itihas jahaan ghatanaoan ka varnan kar nirvrit ho jata hai vahaan puran unake parinam ki or pathak ka chitt akrisht karata hai.

sargashch pratisargashch vansho manvantarani ch.
vanshanucharitanyev puranan panchalakshanamh॥

• jisamean sarg, pratisarg, vansh, manvantar aur vansh-paramparaoan ka varnan ho, vah puran hai. sarg, pratisarg adi puran ke paanch lakshan haian. tatpary yah ki itivritt keval ghatit ghatanaoan ka ullekh karata hai parantu puran mahapurushoan ke ghatit ghatanaoan ka ullekh karata hua unase prapt phalaphal puny-pap ka bhi varnan karata hai tatha vyakti ke charitr nirman ki apeksha bich-bich mean naitik aur dharmik shikshaoan ka pradarshan bhi karata hai. itivritt mean jahaan keval vartaman ki ghatanaoan ka ullekh rahata hai vahaan puran mean nayak ke atit aur anagat bhavoan ka bhi ullekh rahata hai aur vah isaliye ki janasadharan samajh sake ki mahapurush kaise bana ja sakata hai. avanat se unnat banane ke liye kya-kya tyag, paropakar aur tapasyaean karani p dati haian. manav ke jivan-nirman mean puran ka b da hi mahattvapoorn sthan hai. yahi karan hai ki usamean janasadharan ki shraddha aj bhi yathapoorv akshunn hai.

• vaidik parampara mean puranoan aur up-puranoan ka jaisa vibhag paya jata hai vaisa jain parampara mean nahian paya jata. parantu yahaan jo bhi puran-sahity vidyaman hai vah apane dhang ka nirala hai. jahaan any puranakar pray: itivritt ki yatharthata ko surakshit nahian rakh sake haian vahaan jain puranakaroan ne yatharthata ko adhik surakshit rakha hai. isiliye aj ke nishpaksh vidvanoan ka yah spasht mat hai ki prakkalin bharatiy sanskriti ko janane ke liye jain puranoan se unake katha granth se jo jnan prapt hota hai, vah asamany hai. yahaan katipay digambar jain puranoan aur charitroan ki soochi is prakar hai-
