THE DOCTRINE OF LIBERATION IN INDIAN RELIGIONS Two Culika-sutras are: 1. Nandisutta (Nandisutra) 2. Aņuogadārāim (Anuyogad vāra) The Digambaras who do not accept the above mentioned Agamic literature of the Svetambaras as authentic, give a separate list of their canonical literature which is classified under four headings viz., 1.
