Pravachanasara is a text composed by Jain monk, Kundakunda, around the mid of second centurty BC. It is aimed at delineating the bases of correct mendicant praxis. In the text, Kundakunda shows how the correct understanding of the duality of self and others leads to that defining characteristic of Digambara mendicant praxis, nudity.[2]

Acharya Jayasena has written a commentary on Pravachanasara titled Tatparyavritti (i.e. the Purport).[3]
