Digambara form, 683 years after the "nirvana" of Mahavira. The two "Āchāryas" wrote "Ṣaṭkhaṅḍāgama" on palm leaves which is considered to be among the oldest known "Digambara" texts. "Āchārya" Bhutabali was the last ascetic who had partial knowledge of the original Jain "Agamas". Later on, some learned "Āchāryas" started to restore, compile and put into written words the teachings of Lord Mahavira, that were the subject matter of "Agamas". "Digambaras" group the texts into four literary categories called "anuyoga" (exposition). The "prathmanuyoga" (first exposition) contains the universal history, the "karananuyoga" (calculation exposition) contains works on cosmology and the "charananuyoga" (behaviour exposition)
Digambara includes texts about proper behaviour for monks and "Sravakas". Most eminent "Digamabara" authors include Kundakunda, Samantabhadra, Pujyapada, Jinasena, Akalanka, Vidyanandi, Somadeva and Asadhara. The "Digambara" tradition can be divided into two main orders viz. "Mula Sangha" (original community) and modern community. "Mula Sangha" can be further divided into orthodox and heterodox traditions. Orthodox traditions included "Nandi", "Sena", "Simha" and "Deva" "sangha". Heterodox traditions included "Dravida", "Yapaniya", "Kashtha" and "Mathura" sangha. Other traditions of "Mula sangha" include "Deshiya Gana" and "Balatkara Gana" traditions. Modern "Digambara" community is divided into various sub-sects viz. "Terapanthi", "Bispanthi", "Taranpanthi" (or "Samayiapanthi"), "Gumanapanthi" and "Totapanthi". Digambara
