Stoka is the key to Aagam. It is called Thokada in Prakrit. If we study the Stokas then even the subtle secrets of the Agamas can be easily understood. The earlier Tatva seekers, while studying the Agama, presented its essence in the form of small and big Stokas and told us that most of the Jain philosophy is hidden in the Stokas only.The purpose of creating the presented App is that our Tatva seekers can study the foundation of Jain Tatva knowledge through it.Actually, there is a huge storehouse of Thokadas in Jain Agamas. In this, we have included Sutrakritanga Sutra, Sthananga Sutra, Samvayang Sutra, Bhagwati Sutra, Janatadharmakatha Sutra, Upasakadshang Sutra, Auppatika Sutra, Jivajivabhigam Sutra, Prajnapana Sutra, Jambudvipa Prajnapti Sutra, Uttaradhyayana Sutra, Nandi Sutra, Anuyogadwar Sutra, Essential Sutra etc. Agama and, Tattvartha Sutra, Some stokas from the texts like Jain Tattva Prakash, Vishvasyabha Bhashya, Necessary Sutra Niryukti etc. have been taken here.These Stokas are divided into three levels: Vishti, Anvisti and Parishti. You will be able to study it step by step.In the first level Entry, 108 Thokadas have been included. After each section, 5 questions are given, by giving correct answers you can move ahead.In the second level Anvishti 36 Thokadas have been included.
