    Can I get the topics of Aagam script?

    8 months ago 155

    “Aagam script” can mean two different things, so I’ll cover both in a very simple way:

    ---

    1. Topics/contents of Jain Āgamas (scriptures)

    Jain Āgamas mainly cover:

    1. Darshan & Tattva

    - Nature of soul (jīva) and non‑soul (ajīva) - Karma, bondage, liberation (moksha) - Seven/nine tattvas, right faith–knowledge–conduct

    1. Sadhu–Sādhvī discipline

    - Rules for monks and nuns - Vows, daily routine, prāyaścitta (repentance), pratikraman, etc.

    1. Shrāvaka (lay follower) religion

    - 12 vows of a householder - Daily practices, fasting, dān, jīvadayā

    1. Ethics & conduct

    - Ahimsā, satya, asteya, brahmacharya, aparigraha - Anger, pride, deceit, greed and how to reduce them

    1. Cosmology (loka)

    - Structure of the universe - Hell, human, animal, and heavenly regions - Time cycles (kālchakra)

    1. Charitra-kathā (stories)

    - Lives of Tirthankars, Ganadhars, shravaks, sadhus - Stories showing results of good and bad karma

    1. Meditation & spiritual practice

    - Dhyān, samayik, pratikraman, pratyākhyān - Internal tapas (austerities of mind, speech, body)

    Different Āgamas focus on different mixes of these topics (for example, some more on rules, some more on stories, some more on philosophy).

    You can read a simple overview of what Āgams are and their types here:

    2. If you meant “script / language of Āgams”

    • Original Āgamas are mainly in Ardhamāgadhī Prakrit.
    • Written in old Indian scripts (like earlier forms of Brahmi), today usually printed in Devanāgarī, Gujarati, etc. with translations.
