Sattarī-sāra

This manuscript is a remarkable anthology of 14 texts dealing with cosmology and with the theory of karma as expressed in the Śvetāmbara tradition. The collection includes a classic like the Saṃgrahaṇī-ratna, but also less well-known works such as the so-called ‘old’ karma-granthas and verse commentaries – bhāṣyas – on the latter. These texts are rare in the manuscript tradition and are mainly addressed to specialists in karma theory.

The Sattarī-sāra has 96 Prakrit verses. This work on karma does not belong to the well-known classics.
