Answer:

Both Buddhist and Jain literature are classified under Brahman literature. Each birth story is called a Jataka. The Jain texts were written in Prakrit and were finally compiled in the sixth century AD in Valabhi in Gujarat. The important works are known as Angas, Upangas, Prakirnas, Chhedab Sutras and Malasutras.
