The 艢惫别迟腻尘产补谤补 and the Digambara are the two sects of the Jainas. They are again sub-divided into three sub-sects. The sub-division of 艢惫别迟腻尘产补谤补s is: 惭奴谤迟颈辫奴箩补办补, 厂迟丑腻苍补办补惫腻蝉墨, and Ter膩panth墨. B墨sapanth墨, Terahapanth墨, and T膩ra峁嘺panth墨 are the sub-divisions of Digamgbaras. Among them, 惭奴谤迟颈辫奴箩补办补s are those who worship images of 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补蝉 etc. 厂迟丑腻苍补办补惫腻蝉墨s and Ter膩panth墨s are non-worshipper. B墨sapanth墨s and Terahapanth墨s are the believers of the idolworship, but B墨sapanth墨s use fruits, flowers etc., while Terahapanth墨s use lifeless articles for the same. T膩ra峁嘺panth墨s worship scriptures in place of images.

There is no fundamental difference of doctrines between the two divisions. Both the sects have same religious and philosophical beliefs and practically the same mythology. However, some minor differences have been seen even amongst these sub-divisions. The differences were only on some minor details of Jaina religious faiths and practices. The teachings of the jinas are accepted by both the sects. The monks belonging to the 艢惫别迟腻尘产补谤补 group wear white clothes and Digambara group wear no clothes. The literal meaning of the word 艢惫别迟腻尘产补谤补 is white鈥揷lad, whereas Digambara is sky-clad. The following are the main points of differences among them:

1. Two sects have different opinions regarding the food of the 办别惫补濒墨 (omniscient). The Digambarasmaintain that a 办别惫补濒墨 does not need any intake of food, while the 艢惫别迟腻尘产补谤补sthink that they do. However, this point has no practical value and is only academic, for both the sects are unanimous that nobody is going to become a 办别惫补濒墨 in the foreseeable future.

2. Another difference between the two sects is that the Digambarasthink that all Jainaascetics should follow the example of 惭补丑腻惫墨谤补 and remain nude, while the 艢惫别迟腻尘产补谤补s think that the practice of remaining nude known as jinakalpa was given up by the great teachers of the church within a few generations after 惭补丑腻惫墨谤补 and they had started wearing white garments. This practice was known as sthavirakalpa. The present-day ascetics according to the 艢惫别迟腻尘产补谤补s need follow only these great teachers (sthaviras), and it is not necessary to practices the jinakalpa.

3. The Digambara group believes that women cannot obtain liberation but the 艢惫别迟腻尘产补谤补 do not believe in it.

4. The 艢惫别迟腻尘产补谤补s believe that 笔耻峁�p补诲补苍迟补, who was the ninth 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补, had a dolphin as a symbol but the Digambaras think that it was the crab.

5. The 艢惫别迟腻尘产补谤补s believe Malli, the nineteenth 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补, was a woman. The Digambaras believe that as it was not possible for a woman to become a 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补, so Malli was a male.

6. The 艢惫别迟腻尘产补谤补s hold that there were originally two kind of sacred books, viz., the fourteen 笔奴谤惫补蝉 and the twelve 础峁単补蝉. While the canonical literature of the Digambaras is divided into two groups, viz., 础峁単补辫谤补惫颈峁ａ弓补蝉 and 础峁単补产腻丑测补蝉.
