Explanation

The Kalpa-Sutra is the most sacred text of the Svetambara Jains, containing biographies of Tirthankaras. It is ceremoniously taken out in procession during the annual Paryushana festival. Grihyasutra, Dharmashastra, and Shrautasutra are Hindu texts, not specifically honored in Jain processions.
