The Upadhyaya can hold such a glorious position because the *Sthananga* and *Samavayanga* contain concise discussions of all the topics that are essential for the Acharya and Upadhyaya positions. In short, it can be said that the vast ocean of *Jinavani* has been filled into a pitcher called *Samavayanga*. This is why its clear echo is heard in other *Agam* literature. Therefore, we are comparing the topics of *Samavayanga* in the light of other *Agams* very briefly here.
