Śvetāmbara dharm ki sthapna sambandhi mahatvapūrṇ tathy:

• Śvetāmbara ki vyavastha (split) ki kahaniyon ke anusar, bhagwan Mahavira ke baad hi do mukhya sampati bane: Digambar aur Śvetāmbara. Śvetāmbara ke mutābik, is vibhajan ki soochna thodi der ke baad, 83 CE ke as-paas ki jaati hai; is dauran ve log Mahavira ke paath par devamritṛ ko śuddha rakhne ki koshish me white robes pahen ne lage. Is tirth par Vallabhi sammelan ke baad unki canonical granthon ka likhit roop sthapit hua, jo aam taur par 5th century CE ke aas-paas mana jaata hai. ( britannica.com)

• Vibhajan ki vyavastha aur sanrakshan me thoda bahut antar hote hue, kai itihaskar kehte hain ki yah vibhajan dheere-dheere hota raha aur 5th century CE ke pehle tak dono sampraday apne-apne shastra-palan aur monastic niyamon ke saath alag-roop se pehchane jaane lage. Digambar apne astitva ko alag nahin jhilmilate, balki anubhutiyon aur monastic kriyakon me bhinnata ko jodte chale gaye. ( britannica.com)

• Digambar aur Śvetāmbara dono ki kahaniyon me alag-alag vyakhyaayein milti hain. Śvetāmbara ke hisaab se vibhajan ka prarambh 3rd–1st century BCE ke daur me hua, par antim roop se dono dharmik paramparaayein 5th century CE tak prabhutva banaye rahe. Kuch anya srot (tathā itihāsik adhyayan) iske time-frame ko thoda alag batate hain, par samanya sahmati yah hai ki 5th century tak dono sects fully alag ho chuke the. ( britannica.com)

Saransh: Śvetāmbara dharm ki sthapna ki parampara adhikansh roop se 83 CE ke aas-paas ki kahaniyon se judi hai, aur antim roop se 5th century CE tak dono mukhya sects—Śvetāmbara aur Digambar—apne-apne canonical scriptures aur monastic norms ke saath alag pehchaan bana chuke the. Digambar ki vyakhya me is vibhajan ki tithi thodi alag ho sakti hai, lekin pramukh dhara yahi kehti hai ki 5th century CE tak dono stream clearly distinct ho gaye the.
