The main Jain scriptures are divided into two categories: the Agamas and the Siddhanta. The Agamas are the canonical texts of Jainism, which include the teachings of Lord Mahavira, while the Siddhanta refers to later texts that elaborate on these teachings. Key texts include the "Tattvartha Sutra," "Samayasara," and the "Niyamasara." Additionally, the "Kalpa Sutra," which contains biographies of the Tirthankaras, is also significant in Jain literature.
