The first commentary of the Agamas is the Nirukti literature. This literature, written in a concise style and in verse, is a valuable treasure of ancient Indian literature. In it, Acharya Bhadrabahu has presented a concise explanation of the special words used in the Agama texts. This commentary is extremely important from the perspective of the science of semantic development today.
Within the Nirukti literature, there is an important text related to the Pind-Nirukti Charanakarananuyoga. Written in a systematic and subject-oriented style, this text encompasses many topics related to the Sadhu's Bhikshacharya. Due to its nature as an Achar-related text, it is considered a primary source in some traditions. The present text elaborates on the faults of Udgaman, Utpadana, Eshana, and Paribhogaeshana in detail. This text is also extremely rich from the perspective of the contemporary civilization and culture. It is believed that this fourth flower in the chain of Nirukti literature will also be established and popular in the scholarly world.
