    Dvadashang details for 2026

    yesterday 2

    Answer

    In Jain Dharma, Dvādaśāṅga means the twelve Angas, which are the principal canonical scriptures of Jain tradition.

    The twelve Angas are:

    • 1. Ācārāṅga Sūtra
    • 2. Sūtrakṛtāṅga Sūtra
    • 3. Sthānāṅga Sūtra
    • 4. Samavāyāṅga Sūtra
    • 5. Vyākhyāprajñapti / Bhagavatī Sūtra
    • 6. Jñātādharmakathāṅga Sūtra
    • 7. Upāsakadaśāṅga Sūtra
    • 8. Antakṛddaśāṅga Sūtra
    • 9. Anuttaraupapātikadaśāṅga Sūtra
    • 10. Praśnavyākaraṇa Sūtra
    • 11. Vipākaśruta Sūtra
    • 12. Dṛṣṭivāda

    Explanation

    The word Dvādaśāṅga comes from:

    • Dvādaśa = twelve
    • Aṅga = limb or section of scripture

    These twelve Angas are considered the main body of Jain canonical knowledge taught in the tradition of the Tirthankars.

    Among them, the 12th Anga, Dṛṣṭivāda, is traditionally understood to be lost in the present time.

    In the Śvetāmbara Jain tradition, eleven Angas are preserved in the canonical scriptures, while the twelfth is lost. In the Digambara Jain tradition, the original Anga scriptures are considered lost over time.

    Regarding “for 2026”

    If you mean Dvādaśāṅga study, path, calendar, pravachan, exam, or event details for the year 2026, please specify:

    • Which Jain tradition or organization?
    • Which city or sangh?
    • Are you asking about a Dvādaśāṅga Pāṭh, course, pariksha, or festival/event?

    Takeaway

    Dvādaśāṅga refers to the twelve foundational Anga scriptures of Jain Dharma. If you are asking about a specific 2026 program or schedule, please share the location or organization name so the details can be clarified.
