Dvadashanga (also spoken as dvadashāṅga) means “the twelve Angas.” In Jain literature, Anga-sutras are the twelve principal canonical sections that form the core of the Jain scriptures. These twelve are treated as the foundational body of the Jain teachings.

Notes:

• There are small differences in how Digambara and Śvetāmbara traditions enumerate and name the Angas, but the idea of “twelve Angas” as the main canonical collection is common to both.
• If you’d like, I can explain how each tradition lists or labels the Angas and what each Anga generally covers.
