Purnabhadra's Pancatantra: Jaina tales or Brahmanical outsourcing?

Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: "To what extent is Pūrṇabhadra’s Pañcatantra a Jaina text, that is, one of a corpus which “narrate key Jain virtues” as Cort suggests? I will test this proposition in this paper by examining the manner in which Pūrṇabhadra’s Pañcatantra dovetails into the narrative techniques of what we might call an orthodox Sanskrit brahminical tradition."
