Satkhandagama, attributed to Pushpadanta and Bhutabali, is the earliest surviving Digambara Jain canonical text, conventionally placed in the second century CE. Its strength is that it is the primary text itself, foundational to Digambara Jain scripture. Its limit is that no single publication year applies to a work of this antiquity and attribution, which this record states plainly, and a claim about its content should be checked against a scholarly edition or translation.
