Bhagwan ke Gandhar / Gaṇadhar ne Tirthankaron ki divya-vani ko Prakrit, विशेष रूप से Ardhamāgadhī Prakrit bhāṣā mein prarūpit (saṅgṛhit) kiya.

• Tirthankar ki vānī “divya-dhvani” rūp mein nikalti hai, jise Gandhar samajh kar use śabdon mein badalte hain.
• Unhone us upadeś ko hi āge chal kar Āgam / Āgama śāstra ke rūp mein, adhiktar Ardhamāgadhī Prakrit mein hi saṅgṛhit kiya.
• Baad ke kuch Jain granth anya Prakrit (jaise Śaurasenī, Māhārāṣṭrī) aur Sanskrit mein bhi likhe gaye, lekin mūl upadeś aur prārambhik śāstra Ardhamāgadhī Prakrit mein māne jate hain.
