    List of aagam

    10 months ago 446

    In Jainism, the Āgamas are the canonical scriptures, especially revered in the Śvetāmbara tradition. The original teachings of Lord Mahavira were compiled by his immediate disciples (Ganadharas) and passed down orally before being written. The list of Āgamas varies slightly between Jain sects, but here is the traditional Śvetāmbara list of the 45 Āgamas:

    1. 11 Angā Agamas (Primary Canonical Texts):

    1. Ācāranga Sūtra
    2. Sūtrakṛtānga Sūtra
    3. Sthānānga Sūtra
    4. Samavāyānga Sūtra
    5. Vyākhyā-prajñapti (Bhagavatī Sūtra)
    6. Jñāta-dharmakathānga Sūtra
    7. Upāsaka-daśānga Sūtra
    8. Antakṛddaśānga Sūtra
    9. Anuttaraupapātika-daśānga Sūtra
    10. Praśna-vyākaraṇa Sūtra
    11. Vipāka Sūtra

    2. 12 Upāngas (Secondary Agamas):

    1. Aupapātika Sūtra
    2. Rājapraśniya Sūtra
    3. Jīvābhigama Sūtra
    4. Pannavana Sūtra
    5. Surāskandha Sūtra
    6. Vipaaka Sūtra
    7. Drishtivāda Sūtra
    8. Anga Vyaakhyaana
    9. Chheda Sūtras
    10. Mūla Sūtras
    11. Cūlikā Sūtras
    12. Prakirṇaka Sūtras

    (Note: In some lists, the names and order of Upāngas may differ. The above is a representative list.)

    3. The Cheda Sūtras (6 texts):

    1. Ācāradaśā
    2. Bṛhatkalpa
    3. Vyavahāra
    4. Niśītha
    5. Mahāniśītha
    6. Jītakalpa

    4. The Mūla Sūtras (4 texts):

    1. Daśavaikālika
    2. Uttarādhyayana
    3. Āvaśyaka
    4. Piṇḍa-niryukti and Ogha-niryukti

    5. The Cūlikā Sūtras (2 texts):

    1. Nandi Sūtra
    2. Anuyogadvāra Sūtra

    6. The Prakīrṇaka Sūtras (10 texts):

    1. Catuhśaraṇa
    2. Ātmasiddhi
    3. Sanstaraka
    4. Tandulavaicarika
    5. Candravedhyaka
    6. Devendrastava
    7. Ganividyā
    8. Mahāpratyākhyāna
    9. Vīrastava
    10. Pratyākhyāna

    Note:

    • Digambara Jains believe the original Āgamas were lost and rely on texts such as the Ṣaṭkhaṇḍāgama and Kasāyapāhuḍa.
    • The above list is based on Śvetāmbara tradition.
