Do you know about every aagam ?
Short answer: Jainism has many agams (canonical scriptures) and two main traditions—Śvetāmbara and Digambara—that preserve different sets and orders of texts. I can help with the general idea of agams and with specific texts if you name them.
- Śvetāmbara tradition: Accepts a large corpus of Jain texts arranged as agams, with a formal cataloging that includes many sutras and commentaries.
- Digambara tradition: Honors a related but different set of texts; some works are considered part of the authentic canon in this tradition, while others are preserved in later compilations.
If you’re looking for a particular agam or want an overview of how the agamic literature is organized, tell me which one you have in mind (e.g., a specific sutra or a tradition), and I’ll explain its meaning and context as per Jain sources.
