In Jain usage, “sampraday” means a tradition / lineage / organized religious group, while “panth” means a path or religious way. Jainism has many such sub-traditions, especially within the two main sects: Digambara and Śvetāmbara. ( jainpedia.org)

Simple difference

• 22 sampraday / 22 panthi

- This usually refers to a broader, older cluster of Jain lineages. - In common usage, it is linked with the Bīs-panthi / Baees-panthi style of grouping, especially in Digambara contexts, where many local lineages and temple practices existed. ( jainpedia.org)

• 13 panth / Terapanth

- This usually refers to the Terapanth tradition. - The name is explained as “path of 13”, and in the Śvetāmbara Terapanth it is associated with the 13 principles: 5 Mahāvratas, 5 Samitis, and 3 Guptis. The Śvetāmbara Terapanth also became known for a centralized organization under one Ācārya and a non-idolatrous practice style. ( jainpedia.org)

Main practical differences

1. Worship style

- 22 sampraday generally includes more temple-centered and varied ritual forms. - 13 panth / Terapanth is generally simpler and usually avoids idol worship. ( jainpedia.org)

1. Meaning of the name

- 22 sampraday is a counting term used for a broad grouping. - 13 panth is tied to the “13-fold discipline” or “path of 13.” ( jainpedia.org)

Important note

These numbers are traditional labels, not fixed absolute categories for all of Jain history. Different regions and communities use these terms differently. So the exact meaning of “22 sampraday” can vary by place, while “13 panth” most commonly points to Terapanth. ( jainpedia.org)
