This article is about the Jain text, for the Hindu text, see Harivaṃśa
Harivaṃśapurāṇa was composed by Acharya Jinasena in 783 AD.[1][2][3] It is divided into 66 cantos and contains 12,000 slokas. The book aims to narrate the life of Neminatha, the twenty-second Tirthankara in Jainism. According to the Jain sources, Krishna is the first cousin of Tirthankara Neminatha. Therefore, Krishna's adventures too occupy a significant portion of the book.[citation needed] Harivamsa Purana suggests that Draupadi was married to only Arjuna as opposed to Hindu traditional accounts which suggests that she was married to all five Pandavas.[4]
