Introduction:
The Jain canonical literature was originally composed in Ardha-Magadhi, but later Sanskrit became its principal medium. There is a lot of variation as to what constitute the original Jain literature. For several centuries even the monks themselves did not have a common agreement on this subject.
The whole literature came into its present format much after the passing away of Mahavira. The works therefore do not guarantee the purity of his teachings.
