Saṅgrahaṇīsūtra (सङ्ग्रहणीसूत्र).—Several texts entitled saṅgrahaṇī-sūtra, composed by different writers are available in the Jain bhaṇḍāras. The illustrated manuscripts paintings of every saṅgrahaṇī contains, charts, some illustrations of different classes of the gods, their distinguishing symbols, the illustration of the Jaina theory of leśyās, the fourteen ratanas, scenes of the heavens and hells etc. these miniatures have some blue from the point of art. Often such manuscripts are dated and rare, therefore, more valuable to an art historian as is obvious from the saṅgrahanī painted at Matar in 1583 A.D (V.S. 1640) as discussed.
