Jain monks have always tried to contribute to the spiritual emancipation of man through the propagation of their religious ideologies. To make their complex philosophy accessible and interesting to the common man, they used the medium of stories. Thousands of such didactic stories in Sanskrit and Prakrit have come down to us. This Amar Chitra Katha contains three stories from jain literature. While Kesari the Flying Thief and Jinadatta have been retold from the "Vardhaman-Desana", Vasudeva has been adapted from the "Kathakosha"
