Philosophy In Jain Agams: Fourth Vācanā

As Māthurī synod was organised under the leadership of Skandila, another contemporary group of monks were present at Vallabhī under the presidency of Acharya Nagarjuna. They tried to systematize the āgamas. The āgamas, its anuyoga and other prakaraṇa texts which were known to Synod Chief Acharya Nagarjuna and the monks present in the council, were then scribed. In addition, the forgotten contents were again inserted and compiled on the basis of the prior and posterior connections and after corrections they were edited.^[1] The head of this synod was Nagarjuna, hence it is called as Nagarjunīya Vācanā.
