Jain parampara ke anusar pehle ek hi Jain sangh tha. Shwetamber aur Digambar baad mein alag paramparaon ke roop mein viksit hue.

Aam historical drishti se dekha jaye to Digambar parampara ko adhik prachin maana jata hai, aur Shwetamber parampara baad mein sangathit hui.

Saral shabdon mein:

• Mool Jain dharma pehle tha
• Digambar aur Shwetamber baad mein alag hue
• Pracheenata ke hisaab se Digambar ko pahle mana jata hai
