The Sarasvati gaccha is still known by the name of Kundakunda arvaya. However, the founder of it was not Kundakunda, but Māghanandin. It is why the sect is called also Nandi gaccha or Nandi amnāya. At last, it is equally designated by the terms of Balātkāra gana and of Pārijāta gaccha. It is a branch of the Mūlasangha, that is to say of the community founded by Mahāvīra himself (Digambaras).
