While early Buddhist literature heavily stabilized its textual traditions in Pali, the baseline canonical scriptures of Svetambara Jainism, known as the Agamas, were primarily compiled in which language?

Question

Accepted Answer

Vardhamana Mahavira rejected Sanskrit to preach in Ardhamagadhi Prakrit, a vernacular dialect spoken across the Magadha plain, ensuring common people could engage with philosophy. The final stabilization of these Agamas occurred later at the Council of Valabhi around the fifth century CE.
