The accounts of the Ājīvika scriptures in the Jaina *Sūtra* and the Tamil poems differ considerably. In place of the eightfold *Mahānimitta* and the two *Maggas* of the former the latter gives us the *Markali-nūl* or the *Oṉpatu-katir*. It is possible that the Southern Ājīvikas produced new scriptures in the same manner as did the Mahāyāna Buddhists.
