    Satlakh jain sutra written

    12 months ago 68

    It seems you may be referring to “Shatkhandāgama” (often misheard as “Satlakh”). In Jain literature there is no standard sutra called “Satlakh.”

    About Shatkhandāgama (Digambar tradition):

    • Name: Ṣaṭkhaṇḍāgama (Scripture of Six Sections)
    • Authors: Āchārya Puṣpadanta and Āchārya Bhutabali
    • Basis: They wrote it from the oral teachings of Āchārya Dharasena on Mount Girnar.
    • Period (traditional): Around the 2nd century CE
    • Importance: It is one of the two most revered Digambar canonical works (the other is Kaṣāyapāhuda of Āchārya Guṇadhara). It deals deeply with karma doctrine and its subdivisions.

    Shwetambar note:

    • The Shwetambar canon is a different collection (Āgamas). “Shatkhandāgama” as such is not part of the Shwetambar Āgamas; instead, Shwetambar tradition preserves its own set of canonical sutras compiled later at Valabhi.

    If by “Satlakh” you meant something else (for example, a local/colloquial text or a specific stotra), in Jain scriptures there isn’t a recognized sutra by that exact name; the closest, well-known work that sounds similar is the Ṣaṭkhaṇḍāgama described above.
