Answer

Could you please clarify what you mean by “what scripture is used”?

Do you mean:

• Which scriptures are used in Jain Dharma?
• Which scripture is used for a specific Jain ritual or prayer?
• Which scripture contains a particular Jain teaching?
• Which scripture is used by Śvetāmbara or Digambara traditions?

Short General Answer

In Jain Dharma, scriptures are generally called Āgamas or Jain scriptures. They preserve the teachings of the Tirthankars as transmitted through the Jain tradition.

Different Jain traditions recognize scripture collections differently:

• Śvetāmbara tradition: accepts the Jain Āgamas as canonical scriptures.
• Digambara tradition: holds that the original Āgamas were lost over time and gives great importance to texts such as Ṣaṭkhaṇḍāgama, Kaṣāyapāhuda, and works of Acharyas like Kundakunda.

Takeaway

The scripture “used” depends on the Jain tradition and the purpose—study, ritual, philosophy, ethics, or prayer.
