The Mūrtipujaka Sampradāya of the Śvetāmbara Jaina (Idol worshipping white clad sect of the Jainas) tradition recognises ten Prakirnakas as canonical texts. However, according to Muni Punyavijayaji, if all the texts known as Prakirnakas are collected we get the following twenty-two names12 :
Catuhsarana, Aturapratyākhyāna, Bhaktaparijñā, Saniståraka, Tandulavaicārika, Candravedhyaka, Devendrastava, Ganividyā, Mahāpratyākhyāna, Vīrastava. Rsibhasita, Ajsvakalpa, Gacchäcára, Maranasamādhi, Titthogāli (Tīrthodgālika), Ārādhanāpatākā, Dvīpasāgara-prajñapti, Jyotisakarandaka, Arigavidyā, Siddha-prābhrta, Sārāvalī, and Jīvavibhakti.
