mulachar or shatkhandagam which one is old
In Digambar Jain tradition:
- Ṣaṭkhaṅḍāgama (Shatkhandagam) is older
- Mūlācāra (Mulāchār) is later
Very simple timeline (approximate):
- Ṣaṭkhaṅḍāgama
- Based on the teachings of Āchārya Dharasena (1st century CE) - Written down by Āchārya Puṣpadanta and Bhūtabali - Considered one of the earliest and most ancient Digambar āgamas
- Mūlācāra
- Composed by Āchārya Vattakera - Generally placed around 2nd century CE (after Shatkhandagam) - Focuses mainly on ācāra (conduct) of Digambar monks
So, Shatkhandagam is older than Mulachar.
