It is only on the lowest level (sūtra level) that differences occur. The redactors of the Suttāgame edition have often split the traditional sūtras so that a greater total is obtained. In some cases they have also welded several smaller sūtras into one bigger sūtra. Splitting is still more conspicuous in the editions of the Jaina Agama Series.
