    Name all aagams

    6 months ago 114

    In Jain Dharma, when we “name all Āgams,” we usually mean the 45 Śvetāmbara Āgams. (Digambar tradition holds that the original Āgams are lost; I’ll note that at the end.)

    Below is the traditional Śvetāmbara list, in simple form.

    ------------------------------------

    1. 11 Anga Āgam (main scriptures)

    ------------------------------------

    1. Ācāranga Sūtra

    9. Anuttaraupapātika‑daśānga Sūtra
    10. Praśna‑vyākaraṇa Sūtra

    (12th Anga “Dṛṣṭivāda” is considered lost.)

    5. Sūrya‑prajñapti Sūtra (Sūriyapannatti)
    6. Jambūdvīpa‑prajñapti Sūtra (Jambuddīvapannatti)

    8. Nirayāvaliyā Sūtra
    9. Kalpa‑vatansikā Sūtra (Kappiya)

    ------------------------------------ Digambar view (brief) ------------------------------------

    • Digambar Jains believe the original Anga‑Āgams were lost.
    • Therefore, they do not accept the present Śvetāmbara Āgam canon as fully authentic, and follow other authoritative texts (like Ṣaṭkhaṇḍāgama, Kaṣāyapāhuda, etc.) instead.
    • The core principles of Jain Dharma (ahimsā, anekāntvāda, path to moksha) remain the same.
