## What is Jinagam?

Jinagam is a digital sanctum for the Jain śāstras — the timeless teachings of the Tīrthaṅkaras, preserved across centuries in Sanskrit and Prakrit, and now made accessible to every seeker in their own language.

Every verse is presented in its original script alongside word-by-word breakdown, padaccheda, parallel translations, and section-by-section audio narration. Tap any Sanskrit term to see its root, meaning, and grammatical role in English, Hindi, or Kannada. Sit with a passage in quiet, bookmark it, write a reflection — the way you would with a printed śāstra in your home shrine.


WHAT'S HERE TODAY

• Tattvārtha Sūtra of Ācārya Umāsvāmī — the universal compendium of Jain philosophy. 357 sūtras, translated and analysed in English, Hindi, and Kannada, with word-by-word breakdown of every Sanskrit term and parallel commentary from the classical tradition.

• Bhaktāmara Stotra of Ācārya Mānatuṅga — the cherished devotional hymn to Bhagavān Ṛṣabhadeva. 48 verses with full meaning, atom-by-atom breakdown of compounds and sandhi, and traditional chant recordings.


THE FOUR ANUYOGAS

The Jain canon is organised into four anuyogas — four ways of approaching the teaching, suited to different students, subjects, and stages of study. Jinagam is built to cover all four:

• Prathamānuyoga — universal history, the lives of the Tīrthaṅkaras and the sixty-three great men.

• Karaṇānuyoga — cosmology, the mathematics of bondage and liberation: Tiloyapaṇṇattī, Gommaṭasāra, Ṣaṭkhaṇḍāgama.

• Caraṇānuyoga — right conduct, the discipline of monks and householders side by side.

• Dravyānuyoga — metaphysics, anekāntavāda, syādvāda — the inquiry into reality itself: Samayasāra, Pravacanasāra, Sarvārthasiddhi.


THE ROAD AHEAD

The two books on the app today are a beginning. Coming next:

• Dravya-saṃgraha of Ācārya Nemicandra
• Ratnakaraṇḍaka Śrāvakācāra of Ācārya Samantabhadra
• Iṣṭopadeśa of Ācārya Pūjyapāda
• Āpta-Mīmāṃsā of Ācārya Samantabhadra
• The great works of Ācārya Kundakunda — Samayasāra, Pravacanasāra, Pañcāstikāya, the Aṣṭa-Pāhuḍa
