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.
