## Introduction
The Digambara and Svetambara traditions differ in their acceptance of certain sutras (aphorisms) within the Tattvartha Sutra.
**Fourth Sutra:** The Digambara tradition accepts the sutra "Ekasamyaavigraha" as it is, while the Svetambara tradition considers it to be about "Ekasamya" (oneness) and uses the masculine singular form.
**Fifth Sutra:** The Digambara tradition accepts the term "Pot" while the Svetambara tradition accepts "Potja" in the sutra about birth.
**Sixth Sutra:** The Digambara tradition accepts the sutra "Taijasamipi" while the Svetambara tradition does not. The Svetambara tradition considers the discussion about the causes of the origin of all "Nimittaja" (caused) bodies to be part of the Tattvartha Bhashya (commentary) rather than a separate sutra.
**Seventh Sutra:** The Digambara tradition uses the phrase "Pramattasanyatasyaeva" while the Svetambara tradition uses "Chaturdashapurvadharasyava" in the sutra about the Aharak (food) body.
**Eighth Sutra:** The Digambara tradition considers the sutra "Seshaastrivedah" to be independent, while the Svetambara tradition rejects it based on the "Parisesha Nyaya" (principle of residue).
**Ninth Sutra:** The Digambara tradition uses the phrase "Charamottamadeha" while the Svetambara tradition uses "Charmadehotamapurusha" in the sutra about those who have not attained liberation.
**Third Chapter:**
* **First Sutra:** The Svetambara tradition adds the phrase "Prithutarah" after "Adho'dhah" in the first sutra.
* **Second Sutra:** The Svetambara tradition does not accept the term "Narakah" (hell) in the second sutra and considers it a separate sutra "Tasun Narakah". The Svetambara tradition considers the four sutras from the second onwards to be about the state of hell, while the Digambara tradition considers them to be about the state of all hell-like places.
* **Eleventh Sutra onwards:** The Digambara tradition accepts the 21 sutras after the eleventh sutra as separate sutras, while the Svetambara tradition does not.
**Fourth Chapter:**
* **Second Sutra:** The Digambara tradition accepts the sutra "Aditastrishu Pitantaleshya" while the Svetambara tradition accepts "Tritiyah Pitaleshyah". The Svetambara tradition considers the "Pitantaleshya" to be a type of astrologer, which led to the difference in interpretation and the Svetambara tradition accepting a separate sutra "Pilantaleshya" at the seventh position.
* **Sutra about Kalpas (epochs):** The Svetambara tradition accepts the phrase "Dvayordvayoh" in the sutra about the investigation of the remaining Kalpas, which leads them to consider the four Kalpas (Anata, etc.) as two.
* **Sutra about Kalpas:** The Digambara tradition mentions sixteen Kalpas while the Svetambara tradition mentions twelve.
* **Sutra about Laukantika Devas (worldly gods):** The Digambara tradition mentions eight types of Laukantika Devas while the Svetambara tradition mentions nine. However, the Tattvartha Bhashya mentions only eight types.
* **Sutra "Aupapaddhikamanushyebhyah" onwards:** There are significant differences in the sutra readings between the two traditions in this chapter. Many sutras accepted by the Svetambara tradition are not found in the Digambara tradition. Some sutras have different readings in the two traditions.
**Fifth Chapter:**
* **"Dravyani" and "Jivaasch" sutras:** The Digambara tradition considers these two sutras separately, while the Svetambara tradition considers them as one.
* **Sutra about the number of regions of Dharma, Adharma, and Anekant**: The Digambara tradition mentions the number of regions for Dharma, Adharma, and Anekant, while the Svetambara tradition does not.
