Which of the following Jain councils compiled the final version of the 12 Angas and 12 Upangas of the Svetambara canon?

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Second Jain Council was convened at Valabhi in Gujarat during the fifth or sixth century CE under the guidance of Devardhi Kshamasramana to write down the surviving Svetambara texts. The earlier council at Pataliputra had attempted to compile the teachings earlier but resulted in a schism. A key exam takeaway is that the Digambara sect does not recognize these canonical texts compiled at Valabhi.
