The Śvetāmbara Mūrtipūjaka Sampradāya (White clad, Idol worshipping Sect of the Jainas) recognizes only ten Prakīrņakas, as enumerated earlier, as canonical texts.

Catuhsarana, Aturapratyākhyāna, Bhaktaparijñā, Sam'stāraka, Tandulavaicārika, Candravedhyaka, Devendrastava, Gaņividyā, Mahāpratyākhyāna, Vīrastava, Rșībhāṣita, Ajīvakalpa, in Gacchācāra, Maranasamādhi, Titthogāli (Tīrthodgālika),
