History of Jainism followers of "Acharya" Bhadrabahu returned, there was a dispute between them regarding the authenticity of the "Angas". Also, those who stayed at magadha started wearing white clothes, which was unacceptable to the others who remained naked. This is how the "Digambara" and "Śvētāmbara" sects arose, the "Digambara" being naked whereas the "Svetambara" were white clothed. "Digambara" found this as being opposed to the Jain tenets which, according to them, required complete nudity for the monks. The presence of gymnosophists ("naked philosophers") in Greek records has been interpreted to be referring to "Digambaras" Jain "Śramaṇa" practice. Vallabhi council was formed at
Jain literature from the first "tirthankara" Rishabhanatha. The "Digambara" sect believes that there were 26 "Agam‑sutras" (12 "Ang‑agams" + 14 "Ang‑bahya‑agams"). However, they were gradually lost starting from one hundred fifty years after Lord Mahavir's "nirvana". Hence, they do not recognize the existing Agam-sutras (which are recognized by the "Svetambara" sects) as their authentic scriptures. In "Digambara" tradition, two main texts, three commentaries on main texts, and four "Anuyogas" (exposition) consisting of more than 20 texts are followed. These scriptures were written by great "Acharyas" (scholars) from 100 to 1000 AD using the original "Agama Sutras" as the basis for their work.
