    Which Aagam contains mathematical calculation

    7 months ago 117

    In Jain Āgams, the main scripture that systematically contains mathematical calculations (gaṇit, gaṇitanuyog) is:

    Sthānānga Sūtra (Sthananga Sutra) – 3rd Ang Āgam (Śvetāmbara tradition)

    • It lists 10 branches of mathematics, such as:
    - Parikarma – basic arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, squares, roots, etc.) - Vyavahāra – practical calculations - Rajju – geometry - Rāśi – mensuration of solids - Kalāsavarṇa – fractions - Yāvat‑tāvat – simple equations - Varga, Ghana, Vargavarga – quadratic, cubic, biquadratic equations - Vikalpa – permutations and combinations

    Along with Sthānānga, Samavāyānga Sūtra (4th Ang) also contains many numerical and mathematical classifications, especially related to cosmology, time, and enumerations.

    So, if you are asking “which Āgam has mathematics?”, the primary answer is: Sthānānga Sūtra, and secondarily Samavāyānga Sūtra also includes extensive numerical/mathematical content.

    You can read a simple overview of all 45 Āgams here:
