Jain schools and branches account of schism. According to Svetambara, there were eight schisms ("Nihvana"). According to Digambara tradition, Ganadhara knew fourteen Purva and eleven Anga. Knowledge of Purva was lost around 436 years after Mahavira and Anga were lost around 683 years after Mahavira. The texts which do not belong to Anga are called Angabahyas. There were fourteen Angabahyas. The first four Angabahyas, "Samayika", "Chaturvimasvika", "Vandana" and "Pratikramana" corresponds to sections of second "Mulasutra" of Svetambara. The only texts of angabahyas which occurs in Svetambara texts are "Dasavaikalika", "Uttaradhyayana" and "Kalpavyavahara". Digambara is one of the two main sects of Jainism. This sect
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.
