The correct option is C Purvas
The traditions of Lord Pasharvanath, Mahavira Swami and even from before that were compiled as "Purvas." The word 'Purva' itself means 'before'. There are 14 Purvas. These 14 Purvas are described in the 12th anga of Jinvani which is called as 'Drishtivaad anga'. Many of these 'Purvas' were dedicated to the description of secret magical knowledge and supernatural powers.
