Answer

You can read several Jain Agams and Agam-based texts in Hindi and some in English, but availability depends on the Jain tradition and publisher.

Commonly studied Jain Agams include:

• Ācārāṅga Sūtra
• Sūtrakṛtāṅga Sūtra
• Uttarādhyayana Sūtra
• Daśavaikālika Sūtra
• Kalpa Sūtra
• Bhagavatī Sūtra / Vyākhyāprajñapti
• Āvaśyaka Sūtra

For beginners, the best choices are usually:

• Uttarādhyayana Sūtra – very useful for understanding Jain ethics, discipline, karma, and spiritual life.
• Daśavaikālika Sūtra – important for conduct, restraint, and monastic discipline.
• Ācārāṅga Sūtra – foundational text on ahiṃsā, self-control, and the life of a monk.
• Kalpa Sūtra – especially known for the lives of Tīrthaṅkars, including Bhagwan Mahavira.

Explanation

If you are reading in Hindi, you will generally find more options, including translations with explanations by Jain scholars and acharyas.

If you are reading in English, translations exist for some Agams, but they may sometimes use older academic language. So for devotional and practical understanding, many people prefer Hindi explanations if they can read Hindi.

A good beginner path would be:

• First: Uttarādhyayana Sūtra
• Then: Daśavaikālika Sūtra
• Then: Ācārāṅga Sūtra
• Then: Kalpa Sūtra

Spiritual Understanding

Agams are not just books of knowledge. They guide the soul toward:

• Right faith
• Right knowledge
• Right conduct
• Ahiṃsā
• Detachment
• Self-purification

While reading, it is helpful to read slowly, reflect deeply, and if possible learn under the guidance of a knowledgeable Jain sadhu, sadhvi, scholar, or teacher.

Takeaway

For English or Hindi reading, start with Uttarādhyayana Sūtra. It is one of the most meaningful and accessible Agam texts for understanding Jain Dharma and spiritual conduct.
