    The Uttaradhyayana Sutra is one of the most important scriptures in Jainism, particularly for the Śvētāmbara sect. It is a canonical text containing the final teachings of Lord Mahavira and is composed in Prakrit. The text is divided into 36 chapters (adhyayanas or lectures), each focusing on different aspects of Jain philosophy, ethics, conduct, and spiritual practice.

    3. Conduct (Charitra)
    4. The True Monk (Sādhu)

    Note: The chapter names in English can vary depending on translation and commentary. Some chapters are stories to illustrate moral and philosophical teachings, while others are discourses on ethical conduct, meditation, renunciation, and spiritual wisdom. Many chapters are didactic and use stories, analogies, and dialogues between Mahavira and his disciples or other seekers.
