Here are simple English translations of the four Anuyogs (as described in Jain scriptures). I’ve kept the meanings faithful to Jain sources and noted any tradition-based nuances.

• Prathamanuyog (Prathama Anuyoga)

Translation: It describes the four aims for a person’s life—Dharma (righteous conduct), Artha (material wealth), Kama (pleasures), and Moksha (liberation). It also presents the lives and examples of great persons and the proper path toward right knowledge and meditation. Notes: This is the form of right knowledge that focuses on virtuous living and the portrayal of exemplary figures to guide conduct.

• Karananuyog (Karana Anuyoga)

Translation: It deals with the nature of the universe and what lies beyond it (loka and aloka), with the changes of time, and the four possible destinies (gatis) of a soul: heavenly, hellish, human, and other life-forms. It explains questions about space, time, and the processes that govern transmigration. Notes: In many traditions, this is the cosmological and metaphysical Anuyoga, explaining how the world and karmic processes operate.

• Charananuyog (Charana Anuyoga)

Translation: It focuses on conduct and discipline for both householders and monks. It explains how to begin, maintain, and develop proper conduct, and outlines rules of daily life, rituals, and devotion (including practices like Samayik, Pratikraman, and temple/monastic observances). Notes: This is the ethical and practical path—how one should live in the world to progress spiritually.

• Dravyanuyog (Dravya Anuyoga)

Translation: It illuminates the fundamental elements (jiva and ajiva, and the six substances) and the essential principles of virtue, vice, bondage, and liberation. It covers knowledge through logic and reasoning (pramana) and the nature of the tattvas (truths such as jiva, ajiva, punya, papa, bandha, moksha). Notes: This is the doctrinal and epistemological Anuyoga, explaining what things are and how karma and liberation work.

Tradition differences (brief)

• In some Darshan-lineages, the names and exact ordering can vary between Digambar and Śvetāmbara traditions, but the core topics align: biography/conduct/philosophy, cosmology/karma, ethics/discipline, and metaphysical doctrine.
• If you want a precise Digambara vs. Śvetāmbara phrasing for each, I can outline the traditional differences side-by-side.

Would you like me to provide more detailed, line-by-line paraphrase of each section or point you to where these topics are discussed in primary Jain texts?
