The Dį¹į¹£į¹ivÄda/Drishtivaad ("Disputation about views") is: a lost text in theāāJain religion. It is the last of the 12 Jain Ägamas as per ÅvetĆ”mbara tradition, saidāāto be, "promulgated by," MÄhavÄ«ra himself and composed by Ganadhara Sudharmaswami.
The text is traditionally saidāāto contain the entire knowledge of the Fourteen Purvas. However, "its contents have been referred." And explained in Nandi and SamavÄyÄnga SÅ«tra.

- SÅ«tra, containing discussion about creeds and narratives
- PrathamÄnuyoga (PÅ«rvanayoga), containing Puranic narratives, religious biographies. And illustrative tales
