(Redirected from Jeevaga-chintamani)'''Civaka-cintamani''' (transliterated with innumerable variations) is a classical
Tamil language epic poem. It is a
Jain religious epic, authored by the Jain saint
Tirutakakatevar.
It belongs to the
Sangam tradition of
Tamil literature, and is considered one of the
five great Tamil epics. In its form, it anticipates the
Ramayana of
Kamban. ''Civaka-cintamani'' was well received at the
Chola court, and has since been admired for its poetic form, appealing story-line, and theological message. The story concerns a hero who through his virtue rises to become king, only to renounce his high station and pursue a life of religious merit.
