Here is a simple guide to Prakrit study material for Jain texts, focusing on the two main Prakrit dialects used in Jain literature: Ardhamagadhī (Śvetāmbara tradition) and Shauraseni (often associated with Digambar texts).

• Ardhamagadhī Prakrit materials ( Śvetāmbara tradition)

- Kalpa Sūtra (Ardhamagadhī Prakrit): a foundational Jain text with Jina-charitra and monastic guidelines. - Antakrddasha Sūtra / Antagad Dasa (Ardhamagadhī Prakrit): narratives of those who attain mokṣa within this life. - Logassa / Chaturvimshati-stavan (Logassa Stotra) (Ardhamagadhī Prakrit): a stotra praising the 24 Tirthankaras. - General introductions to Ardhamagadhī, with beginner-friendly explanations and practice material.

• Shauraseni Prakrit materials ( Shauraseni/Digambar tradition)

- Mulachara (Digambara tradition) is in a dialect related to Shauraseni; study aids explain its Parsya-style language and monastic conduct. - Kasayapahuda (Kāyāyapahuḍa) in Prakrit, a canonical text focusing on karma and passions. - Other Shauraseni-linked Jain texts that use a closely related Prakrit idiom and are studied with glosses and grammar notes.

• Practical study notes

- Basic grammar and vocabulary for Ardhamagadhī and Shauraseni dialects. - Pronunciation guides, common sandhi rules, and practice readings from selected sutra passages. - Comparative notes on Digambar vs. Śvetāmbara readings where dialect choices differ.
