For example, while there may be differences, the lack of Sutra 5:29, which discusses the nature of the true substance, in the Digambara version confirms that the Shvetambara text is the original and that the Digambara text is derived from it. Additionally, some minor evidences such as the use of the term "yathakrama" by the author to introduce subsequent sub-divisional sutras and the method of always starting new sutras with the pronoun "s," further corroborate this fact. Thus, the question regarding the revision of the third chapter of Tattvarthsutra, namely, "Is this Samagra from the commentary and Jambudvipa Samasa taken from the Digambara version, or is the commentary and Jambudvipa Samasa taken from the Digambara version?" is naturally resolved.
