As early as 1955, at Ujjain, Ācāryasri decided on a Synod (vícana) to critically edit the entire corpus of the Jaina āgamas. He appointed a band of monks and nuns of his Order to do the work. A rapid success was achieved and all the 32 texts of the Ardhamāgadhi canon were edited with complete word index, ten volumes also having already been published, by 1981.
Acāryasri is not only a voluminous writer, he is also a religious leader of international repute. His concept of ethics is not limited to the exaltation of an individual, but it envisages a national and international ethics for ushering in world peace. His Anuvrata Movement is basically a step in that direction.
