{{Jainism}}<br />
A '''Pattavali''' (From Sanskrit patta: seat, avali: chain), '''Sthaviravali''' or '''Theravali''', is a record of a spiritual lineage of heads of monastic orders. They are thus spiritual genealogies.<ref>Śrī paṭṭāvalī-samuccayaḥ, Vīramagāma, Gujarāta : Śrī Cāritra-Smāraka-Granthamālā, 1933</ref> It is generally presumed that two successive names are teacher and pupil. The term is applicable for all Indian religions, but is generally used for [[Jain]] monastic orders.<br />
<br />
There are several famous pattavalis which are often used to establish historical chronologies:<ref>Akbar as Reflected in the Contemporary Jain Literature in Gujarat, by Shirin Mehta, Social Scientist, 1992, p. 54-60</ref><ref>Medieval Jaina Goddess Traditions, by John Cort<br />

==The Jain Monastic Lineages==<br />
According to 600 AD inscription at [[Sravanabelagola]], Harivansha Purana, Jambuddvita Pannati and Kalpasutra, the ''Pattavali'' (lineage) after [[Mahavira]], 24th ''[[tirthankara]]'', is traced as follows.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.jainworld.com/jainbooks/images/18/History_of_the_Digambaras.htm |title=History of the Digambaras |work=Jainworld.com |date=16 January 1977 |access-date=7 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304051141/http://www.jainworld.com/jainbooks/images/18/History_of_the_Digambaras.htm |archive-date=4 March 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref> [[Bhadrabahu]] was the last leader of the undivided Sangha. After him there were two branches in the lineage. In both branches, some of the oral tradition was gradually lost. The two branches eventually became the two traditions Digambaras and the Svetambaras, although formal recognition of the separation is encountered in the 5th century CE.{{Citation needed|date=June 2013}} Kalpasutra gives a lineage starting with Pushyagiri after Vajrasena ending with Kshamashramna Devarddhi, the president of the [[Vallabhi council]]. The canonical books of the Svetambaras were produced in writing in this [[Vallabhi council|Council]]. The Kalpasutra also mentions ganas and shakhas established by other disciples of Bhadrabahu, Sambhutavijaya, Mahagiri etc. The Brihat-Kharataragachchha pattavali gives the name of Chandra after Vajrasena, the lineage continues until Udyotana, the founder of Brihadgachcha.{{Citation needed|date=June 2013}}<br />
