Old Gujarati Old Gujarātī (જૂની ગુજરાતી ; also called ગુજરાતી ભાખા "Gujarātī bhākhā" or ગુર્જર અપભ્રંશ "Gurjar apabhraṃśa", 700 BCE–1500 CE), the ancestor of modern Gujarati and Rajasthani, was spoken by the Gurjars, who were residing and ruling in Gujarat, Punjab, Rajputana and central India. The language was used as literary language as early as the 12th century. Texts of this era display characteristic Gujarati features such as direct/oblique noun forms, postpositions, and auxiliary verbs. It had three genders, as Gujarati does today, and by around the time of 1300 CE, a fairly standardized form of this language emerged. While generally known as Old Gujarati, some scholars prefer the name of Old Western Rajasthani, based on the argument that Gujarati and Rajasthani were not yet distinct. Factoring into this preference was the belief that modern Rajasthani sporadically expressed a neuter gender, based on the incorrect conclusion that the [ũ] that came to be pronounced in some areas for masculine [o] after a nasal consonant was analogous to Gujarati's neuter [ũ]. A formal grammar of the precursor to this language, "Prakrita Vyakarana", was written by Jain monk and eminent scholar Hemachandra Suri in the reign of Chaulukya king Jayasimha Siddharaja of Anhilwara (Patan).

Shatkhandagama Ṣaṭkhaṅḍāgama (Devanagari: षटखंडागम ), literally the "Scripture in Six Parts", is the foremost and oldest Digambara Jain sacred text. According to "Digambara" tradition, the original canonical scriptures of the Jains were totally lost within a few centuries of "Nirvana" of Lord Mahavira. Hence, "Satkhandāgama" is the most revered Digambara text that has been given the status of "āgama". The importance of the "Satkhandāgama" to the Digambaras can be judged by the fact that, the day its "Dhavalā" commentary was completed, it is commemorated as "Shruta Pañcami", a day when all the Jaina scriptures are venerated. "Satkhandāgama", the first "āgama" is also called the Pratham Shrut-Skandh, while the "Panch Paramāgama" by Acharya Kundakunda are referred to as the second "āgama" or Dvitiya Shrut-Skandh.
