Jain Mahabharta literature

Regarding original literature and text, there are huge controversies around Hindu Mahabharta on when these were written in original form. Vyas shalokas were claimed to be passed from generation to generation, but nothing was compiled precisely. Its argued and believed that original vyas mahabharta was much exaggerated over centuries. Finally Hindus agreed on 18 books that describe Mahabharta. Adi Parva - the first and the Compilation of these 18 books can not be dated much before ~1000AD. Hindu's claim Vyasa shalokas can be dated to Gupta Empire. 


For Jains, Mahabharta was the war between Narayana (Krishna) and Prati-Narayana (Jarasandh) and life of Neminath (22nd tirthankara) and how he showed path to moksha to several  ascetics including Pandavas, balarama and several others. 

Jain historical books related to Mahabharta:
1) Jain Agams are oldest scriptures which have been lost in ancient times. King ?? had asked Mahavira about Mahabharta - that was described in Agamas
2) The origin of the list of Balarama, Narayanas,  Pratinarayanas can be traced back to to the Jinacharitra by Bhadrabahu swami (4th–3rd century BCE).[73]  Kalpasutra - also constructed by Bhadrabahu has detailed description on Neminath.
3) Harivaṃśapurāṇa was composed by Acharya Jinasena in 783 AD.[1][2][3] It is divided into 66 cantos and contains 12,000 slokas. It details life of Neminath and Krishna. 8 Chapters on Pandavas. Jinasena cited 23 other texts for this work including Dwaipayana Rishi's texts going back to Kadamba kingdom. Adi Purana also covers this which was written by Jinasena as well.     
4) Uttara Purana (897AD) - Gunabhadracharya 's ancient Jaina Uttara Purana written in 897 AD had a brief description of Pandavas (some 126 pages) among its description of 11 Chakravartis, Nine Narayans, Nine Prati-Narayanas and Nine Balabhadras 
5) Kshatrachudamani (11th century edition).
6) Pandava Charitra (1222 AD, a 8000 verse retelling of vedic Mahabharata)
