Buddhist or Jainist scripture (5)

I believe the answer is:

sutra

(Other definitions for sutra that I've seen before include "Ornamental arm band" , "Buddhist literature" , "Buddhist text" , "Rule or aphorism in Sanskrit literature" , "The Kama ..... is a Sanskrit sex manual" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
