Of the many ancient scriptures of the Jains listed in the earlier manuscripts a major part has been lost during the last two millennia. Yet still a considerable number of works reached our present times intact. Unfortunately only a few of these works have been translated into Western languages and even these few are often out of print.
The following list contains a short selection of Jaina scriptures that deal mainly with the mechanisms of the expansion of consciousness and have been translated into English language:
