Religion	Jainism
Language	Prakrit

Uttaradhyayana orUttaradhyayana Sutra is one of the most important and sacred books of Jains. It consists of 36 chapters, each of which deals with aspects of Jain doctrine and discipline. It is believed by some to contain the actual words of BhagwanMahavira (599/540 - 527/468 BCE) - the 24th Tirthankara, though scholars analyze that the current text is a composite from different dates. TheUttaradhyayana mainly concerns central Jain principles illustrated through the use of anecdotes, parables, and historical stories through 36 chapters.^[1]
