Panchastikāyasāra (English spelling)
This is a doctrinal compendium written by Kundakunda (2nd-3rd century), a famous scholar of the Jain Vasantha sect. The title means "Essence of the Five Gatherings of Beings." The original text was written in vernacular and consists of a total of 173 (or 180) hymns. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is about ontology, explaining the five gatherings of beings (astikayas) such as soul and matter, which are the basic components of the universe, and the second part is devoted to explaining the nine principles (padarthas) that summarize the entire doctrine.
