Jain philosophy
Source: archive.org: Anekanta Jaya Pataka of Haribhadra SuriPagaraṇa (पगरण) is the Prakrit equivalent of the Sanskrit Prakaraṇa—which usually means a “chapter” or a “section” of a work. Alternatively, prakaraṇa means a “small treatise wherein one particular subject is predominantly treated”. Thus the word prakaraṇa is applicable to works written in verse, too, and as a matter of fact, its Pāiya (Prākṛta) equivalent pagaraṇa is used for Siddhasena Divākara’s Sammaipagaraṇa—a versified work.

Jain literature is often composed in this language or sub-dialects, such as the Agamas and their commentaries which are written in Ardhamagadhi and Maharashtri Prakrit. The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
