Gandharon ne Tirthankaron ki divya-vani ko Ardhamāgadhī Prākrit bhāṣa mein prarūpit (saṅgṛahit) kiya.

Saṅkṣep mein:

• Tirthankar ki vāṇī divya-dhvani hoti hai – vah sab jīv apni-apni bhāṣa ke anusar samajh sakte hain.
• Us divya-dhvani ko Gandhar Bhagwant ne jo śāstrarūp (Āgam) mein likhā, vah mūl rūp se Ardhamāgadhī Prākrit bhāṣa mānī jātī hai (viśeṣkar Śvetāmbara paramparā mein).
