The ''Nivvāṇalīlāvaīkahā'' (Nivvāṇa-līlāvaī-kahā) 'Story of the Final Emancipation of Līlāvatī' composed in 1036 by [[Jineshvara]], a Jain monk. The work was composed in Jain [[Maharashtri]], a [[Prakrit]] language. Jineshvara was a reformist of lax monasticism, and his work was considered highly conducive to liberation.<br /><br />
The primary purpose of Jain narrative literature was to edify lay people through amusement; consequently the stories are racy, and in some cases the moralising element is rather tenuous. The main feature of [[Jain literature|Jain narrative literature]] is its concern with past and future lives. There developed a genre of soul biography, the histories, over a succession of rebirths, of a group of characters who exemplified the vices of anger, pride, deceit, greed and delusion.<br /><br />
A Sanskrit abridgement of ''Nivvāṇalīlāvaīkahā'' was made by [[Jinaratna]], pupil of Jineshvara, by the title ''[[The Epitome of Lilavati|Līlāvatīsāra]]''.<br />
