Why do you think it contains more violence than any other magic book?
We have euphemisms for good violence, which we support and encourage. Jain non violence, like our non violence, is a term of art. When we implore ourselves or others to non violence we tend to memory hole the euphemised set, and this is exactly what the authors of jain myths did. Again, jain kings and soldiers weren't doing jainism wrong. You have a sanitized view of jainism.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
