COMMENTARY -Brief introduction of kalik sutras
1. Uttaradhyayan - It has thirty six chapters compiling the last sermons of Bhagavan Mahavir. This contains philosophical, ethical, aphoristic, and narrative (stories) material. Every chapter in this work is individually important.
5. Nisheeth - It contains procedures of atonement in details. As the darkness of night is dispelled by day light, in the same way the darkness of transgression of codes or discipline is removed by the light of atonement. This is the main theme of this sutra.
13. Angachulika - This Sutra is the chulika of Acharang sutra and other Anga sutras. Chulika means the compilation of topics included as well as missed in the main work. It is something like appendix and/or addendum.
14. Vargachulika - This is the chultka of vargs (sections) of Anga sutras. For example, the chulika of eight sections of Antakettdasha Sutra.
15. Vivahachulika - This is the chulika of Vyakhya Prajnapti or Bhagavati.
17. Varunopapata - When this sutra is ritually recited, god Varun is invoked to arrive and listen. After that he offers boons to the reciting ascetic. When the ascetic expresses about the absence of any desire for the boons, the god offers homage to that contented and detached ascetic, and leaves. This is the theme of this work.
23. Utthanashrut - This deals with ucсhatan (to spread disturbances by casting a spell through mantra chanting). Aagam- 44 -NandiSootra
