Most of the eastern religions are not 'religions of the book', that is, there is no one book which has the same satus as Bible has for Christians. Most of the knowledge was passed on from generations through oral traditions.
With these points in mind, the sacred texts of Jainism are called Agams, (or Jinvani, literally meaning 'words of Jina (God)'). They are primarily composed of 46 texts. (However, there are debates regarding the authenticity of various texts among different sections and sub-sects of Jain culture). There are other sacred texts as well compiled at a later period, which are equally revered, like Tattvarthsutra, Samaysara, Kalpsutras, the Koshas, the Sharavakachars, certain Puaranas, Tamil and Kannada works, etc.
