The composition of independent works on Jaina doctrine of Karma starts with c. 4th A. D. In Digambara tradition the independent works on Jaina doctrine of Karma composed during c. 4th-10th A. D. are Mahakarma Prakrti Prabhrta (Satakhandasastra) by Puspadanta Bhutabali (c. 4th A. D.), Kasayaprabhrta by Gunadhara (c. 4th A. D.), Kasayaprabhrta Curni by Yatirsabha (c. 6th A. D.), Dhavala Tika and Jayadhavala Tika by Virasena (c. 9th A. D.) and Gommatasara by Nemicandra Siddhantacakravarti (c. 10th A. D.). Similarly, in Svetambara tradition Karmaprakrti by Sivasarmasuri (c. 5th A. D.), Pracina Satkarmagrantha, Sataka and Saptatika by Sivasarmasuri and Pañca sangraha are the noted treatises composed during this age. All these works present detailed description of Jaina Philosophy in general and Jaina doctrine of Karma in particular.
Ācārya Haribhadrasuri composed more than eighty works on different aspects of Jaina philosophy and religion. He developed a Jaina system of Yoga on the basis of Patanjali's Yoga and established some new concepts of Jaina Yoga. Haribhara was a prolific writer who has written on every aspect of Jaina philosophy and religion. His Şaddarśana Samuccaya and Sastravarta Samuccaya are two important works which describe comparatively the thought of other systems of Indian philosophy.
