The '''Parishishtaparvan''' ({{IAST3|Pariśiṣṭaparvan}}) also known as the '''Sthaviravalicharitra''' ({{IAST3|Sthavirāvalīcaritra}}) is a 12th-century [[Sanskrit]] [[mahakavya]] by [[Hemachandra]] which details the histories of the earliest [[Jain]] teachers. The poem comprises 3,460 verse couplets divided into 13 [[canto]]s of unequal length and is also notable for providing information on the political history of ancient India.{{sfn|Upinder Singh|2016|p=26}}{{sfn|Fynes|1998|p=xxxiii}}

The ''Trishashtishalakapurushacharitra'' ({{IAST3|Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra}}; ''The Lives of the Sixty-three Illustrious People''), an epic Sanskrit poem on the key figures in [[Jainism]], was composed by Hemachandra at the request of the [[Chaulukya dynasty|Chaulukya]] king, [[Kumarapala (Chaulukya dynasty)|Kumarapala]]. The Sthaviravalicharitra (''The Lives of the Jain Elders'') is considered a self-contained sequel to this work and is consequently referred to as the Parishishtaparvan or ''The Appendix''.{{sfn|Fynes|1998|p=xi}}

The period largely covered in the poem corresponds to {{circa|480|200 BCE}} and follows the growth of the kingdom of [[Magadha]] and the establishment of the [[Maurya Empire]]. According to Hemachandra, the sequence of rulers in the times of the Jains discussed was: [[Shrenika]], [[Ajatashatru|Kunika]], [[Udayin]], the nine [[Nandas]], [[Chandragupta Maurya]], [[Ashoka]], and [[Samprati]]. Hemachandra also speaks of Samprati being instrumental in the spread of Jainism further south.{{sfn|Fynes|1998|pp=xxvii–xxix}}

The Parishishtaparvan was Hemachandra's last major work.{{sfn|Fynes|1998|p=xi}}

==Contents==
The text talks about the incorrect strategy of [[Chanakya]] of attacking [[Dhana Nanda]]'s capital.{{sfn|Mookerji|1966|p=34}} It further narrates that he leaned from this incidence and changed strategy by convincing peripheral kingdoms starting with [[Parvataka]] of [[Himavatkuta]].{{sfn|Mookerji|1966|p=34}}
