Siddhanta
The
Siddhanta (
the Doctrine -- or
Agama,
the tradition) is the primary
scripture of
Jainism. The
religion's
canon varies between the three primary sects, with Sthanakavasis believing in no scripture. Both the
Digambara and
Shvetambara believe that the "purest" Jainist teachinges were contained within the
Purvas, which have been mostly lost. Of the surviving Jain scriptures, the Digambara tend to focus upon the
Prakaranas; while the Shvetambara focus upon the
Angas.
