The Uvasagadasao or the Religious Proffssion of an Uvasaga Expounded in ten Lectures: Being the seventh anga of the Jains

The Uvasagadasao is the seventh Anga of Jain scripture, expounding the religious journey of an Uvasaga (lay follower) through ten lectures. Edited by A.F. Rudolf Hoernle (1841–1918), a pioneering scholar of Jainism and Indian languages, this text highlights ethical conduct and spiritual discipline in Jain tradition. Hoernle’s critical edition (published in the late 19th century) remains vital for Jain studies, offering insights into ancient Prakrit literature and Jain philosophy. His work bridges historical and linguistic research in Indology.
