 In a further deviation, Rama's loyal brother Lakshmana (instead of Rama) kills Ravana in the final battle.Eventually, Rama takes "jaina-diksha" (converts to "Digambara monk"), becomes an ascetic and attains "nirvana" (enlightenment).Considered a complementary work to the "Pampa Bharatha" of Adikavi Pampa (941, a Jain version of the epic Mahabharata), the work earned Nagachandra the honorific "Abhinava Pampa" ("new Pampa").
