### Third Kamanthany: Appendix
This section covers the period from the third century to the twentieth century. During this time, the Acharyas elaborated on the Karma Shastra in the form of commentaries, Vrinis, Bhashyas, Vrittis, etc.
Jain Acharyas have extensively discussed the subject of Karma. However, due to the differences in opinion that arose after the death of Bhagwan Mahavira, this discussion became fragmented. The sectarian differences became so rigid that scholars from both sects were unable to come together to discuss the Karma theory as taught by Bhagwan Mahavira. As a result, even though there was no disagreement on the core subject, there were some differences in the technical terms, their interpretations, and sometimes in the underlying meaning. If we consider these differences from a neutral perspective, we can see the truth in them. We can conclude that the Jain Acharyas were fully aware of the importance of preserving the essence of the Karma theory, the fundamental contribution of Jain philosophy. They ensured the preservation of the core principles of Karma literature.
### Some Important Karma Texts
Many of the Karma texts currently available, or those whose existence is known from references in other texts, are unpublished. However, the published texts themselves clearly demonstrate the importance of Jain Karma literature. A look at the list of published texts reveals that commentaries or Sanskrit commentaries on the original texts have been published. Commentaries written in regional languages are still unpublished.
This section provides a brief introduction to some of the published texts that are widely used in study and teaching.
### Karma Prakriti
This text contains 455 verses, compiled based on the second Purva of the Aggraseni Purva Nayaka. In this text, the Acharya has discussed eight aspects of Karma: Bandha (binding), Sankraman (transition), Udhalana (loosening), Apavasana (detachment), Udirana (arousal), Upshaman (suppression), Nidhatti (destruction), and Nikayana (classification).
