Tiloya Panatti

Tiloya Panatti or Trilokaprajnapati is one of the earlier Prakrit texts on Jain cosmology composed by Acharya Yativrshabha.

It perceives different solar and lunar entities in a manner that is different from the current cosmology as well those put forward by different cultures.

The Universe is made up of what Jains call six dravya or reals or substances - Living beings, non-living things or matter, space, time and the principles of motion and rest.

The Tiloya Panatti is a Prakrit work in the Jain Shauraseni dialect and has been composed primarily in the Arya metre.

In addition to cosmology, this work sheds light on Jain dogmatics, culture, history, mythology and ascetic lineages.
