Significance of Amplification

Amplification in Jainism involves the act of elaborating or exaggerating experiences of suffering, raising questions about the necessity of such emphasis. In contrast, Purana views Amplification as a process of expanding narratives, indicating that these stories may have evolved over time within the storytelling tradition. Both perspectives highlight different aspects of how experiences and narratives are articulated and understood in their respective philosophical and cultural contexts.
