The canonical literature of Jainism is claimed to have started from Adinatha, the first tirthankara. It is said that these teachings were forgotten and revived by the Tirthankaras from time to time.The teachings of the Tirthankaras before Mahavir are known as There were total 14 Purvas which were memorized and passed on through the ages, but later lost into oblivion.Some Jain traditions say that Jain Scholar Bhadrabahu, who was also a Sutra Kevali (one who can recite all sutras), could recite the 14 Purvas. His disciple Sthulbhadra learnt all but last four Purvas. Thus, Bhadrabahu is considered to be the last expert of fourteen Purvas. He later migrated to South India, where he would later become guru of Chandragupta Maurya.After Bhadrabahu, the Jainism split into Digambara and Svetambara. The Digambara belong to the lineage of Acharya Vishakha and Shvetambar follow the tradition of Acharya Sthulabhadra. In around 1500 AD, the Swetambar sect divided into three sub-sects known as Swetambar Murtipujak, Sthanakvasi, and Terapanthi.Jain Literature is called Jain Agamas. They are canonical texts of Jainism based on Mahavira’s teachings. There are in all 46 texts.12 Angas: The 12 Angas are as follows:Ācāranga sūtraSūtrakrtangaSthānāngaSamavāyāngaVyākhyāprajñapti or Bhagavati sūtraJnātrdhārmakathāhUpāsakadaśāhAntakrddaaśāhAnuttaraupapātikadaśāhPraśnavyākarananiVipākaśrutaDrstivāda (This Anga had disappeared by the time second sangeeti was organized in 512 AD.
