The Dṛṣṭivāda or Drishtivaad ("Disputation about views") is a lost text in the Jain religion.[1] It is the last of the 12 Jain āgamas as per Śvetámbara tradition, said to be promulgated by Māhavīra himself and composed by Ganadhara Sudharmaswami.[citation needed]
The text is traditionally said to contain the entire knowledge of the Fourteen Purvas. However, its contents have been referred and explained in Nandi and Samavāyānga Sūtra.[citation needed]
