**Agamvyavahar** is the method of conduct and prohibitions practiced or formulated by Kevalgyanis, Manahparyavgyanis, and Avadhigyanis. The method of conduct and prohibitions practiced or formulated by the fourteen, ten, and nine purvadharis is also Agamvyavahar.
**Shrutavyavahar** is the method of conduct and prohibitions practiced or formulated by the eight purna and ninth apurna dharis. The method of conduct and prohibitions specified by the ten (Ayara Dasha - Dasha Shruta Skandha), Kalpa (Brihat Kalpa), Vyavahar, Achar Prakalpa (Nishith), etc. Cheda Shruta (Shastra) is also Shrutavyavahar.
**Agyavvyavahar** is when two Geetarth Shramans are traveling in different countries far apart from each other and there is no possibility of meeting in the near future. If one of them has to take the atonement for Kalpika Pratisevna, then he should send his transgression to the Geetarth Shishya. If there is no Geetarth Shishya, then he should send his transgression to the Dharana Kushal Ageetarth Shishya in a symbolic language and send it to the distant Geetarth Muni. After listening to the criticism, the Geetarth Muni should consider the Dravya, Kshetra, Kala, Bhav, Sanhanan, Dhairya, Bal, etc. and go there himself and give atonement. Or he should send the Geetarth Shishya to explain. If there is no Geetarth Shishya, then he should send the message of atonement for transgression-purification in symbolic languages along with the one who brought the message of criticism. This is Agyavvyavahar.
**Dharnavvyavahar** is when a Geetarth Shraman has given atonement for a transgression based on Dravya, Kshetra, Kala, and Bhav, and another Shraman who has committed the same transgression takes atonement according to the Dharna.
**Agamvyavahar** can be divided into three categories based on the concept of Kalpana: Utkrishta, Madhyama, and Jaghanya.
1. **Utkrishta Agamvyavahar** is the method of conduct and prohibitions practiced or formulated by Kevalgyanis, because Kevalgyan is complete direct knowledge.
2. **Madhyama Agamvyavahar** is the method of conduct and prohibitions practiced or formulated by Manahparyavgyanis or Avadhigyanis, because although Manahparyavgyan and Avadhigyan are partial (Desha) direct knowledge, they are both self-relative.
3. **Jaghanya Agamvyavahar** is the method of conduct and prohibitions practiced or formulated by the fourteen, ten, and nine purvadharis, because although they are specific Shruta, they are indirect.
