• Aagam (also spelled Agam) means the sacred Jain scriptures or canonical teachings.
• It refers to the body of Jain literature that contains the teachings of the Tirthankaras (teachers, like Mahavira and predecessors) and their disciples, transmitted in a formal, ritual way.

Important tradition-based differences:

• Digambaras: They traditionally enumerate a large, structured set of texts called Anga and Upanga (and related sections) as the core Agams. Their canon is organized with a strong emphasis on the oral transmission and subset/groupings of these texts.
• Śvetāmbaras: They also call these "Agams" but include a broader collection that, in their tradition, totals more texts (often described as 45 main Agams in some lineages), with additional commentaries and later works integrated into the canonical framework.

In short, Aagam = the core Jain scriptures containing the teachings of Tirthankaras, with the exact list and divisions differing between Digambara and Śvetāmbara traditions.
