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)
Religious habit and a woolen mat to sit on. Those who wear clothes have a muhapati, which is a square or rectangular piece of cloth of a prescribed measurement, either in their hand or tied on their face covering the mouth. Svetambara ascetics have an Ogho or Rajoharan (a broom of woolen threads) to clean insects around their sitting place or while they are walking. Digambara ascetics have a Morpichhi and a Kamandal in their hands. This practice may vary among different sects of Jains but essential principle remains the same to limit needs.
