This is the sixth Upanga. The central theme of this Sutra is detailed description of Jambudveep. The list of topics discussed in this include inhabited areas of Jambudveep continent, mountains, rivers, Mahavideh area, Meru mountain, the sun, the moon, planets, and constellations moving around the Meru; regressive and progressive cycles of time; people like the fourteen Kulakars, the first Tirthankar Bhagavan Risabhadeva; and incidents like the conquest of the six divisions of the Bharat area. The colourful illustrations included in this volume will be helpful in understanding the geographical conditions of Jambudveep as well as the movement of the sun, the moon and planets. The readers will find the beautiful multicoloured illustrations of incidents from Bhagavan Risabhadeva's life very lively. This Sutra is a compendium of Jain geography, cosmology and history.
Till date 23 Agams (including two parts of Bhagavati) and Kalpa Sutra have been published in 21 books. The English translation makes it possible for those with passing knowledge of Prakrit and Hind to understand the content of Jain Agams including the religious practices as prevalent in ancient times. Also included in some of these editions are glossaries of Jain terms with their meaning in English.
Due to its demand by libraries, Jnana Bhandars, ascetics and lay readers this unique series may soon go out of print.
The publication of this Agam series has been inspired by Uttar Bharatiya Pravartak Gurudev Bhandari Shri Padmachandra ji M. S. Its editor is his able disciple Uttar Bharatiya Pravartak Shri Amar Muni ji Maharaj. His team includes renowned scholar Shri Shrichand Surana as associate editor, Shri Surendra Bothara and Sushravak Shri Raj Kumar Jain, as English translators.
