The fundamental texts of the Yunyalīlti religion are the Holy Books (sg. ''brausanaviṣya'', pl. ''brausanaviṣyai''), which also make up the Constitution - or, better said, its equivalent as a fundamental law - of the [[Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition|Lands of the Chlouvānem Inquisition]]. The most important among the holy books are the three Books of the Chlamiṣvatrā (''yamei Chlamiṣvatrī naviṣyai''), which collect everything Lelāgṇyāviti said during her teachings; the Third Book also includes chronicles about her life. | The fundamental texts of the Yunyalīlti religion are the Holy Books (sg.

In order of importance, after the Books of the Chlamiṣvatrā, come the ''Lallaṣvatrāṇāveyai'' (sg. ''Lallaṣvatrāṇāvi''), the "words of the Great Masters (''lallaṣvatrai'')": these are texts written mostly during the 5th millennium where some themes treated in the Books of the Chlamiṣvatrā are explained further and where are also treated various concept of ''maišāyikā'' (philosophy) and ''špeisātarlā'' (ethics). The other Holy Books, according to Chlouvānem tradition, include the two Books of Chants (''yamei laiji naviṣyai''), which include the main liturgical chants, and the two Books of Community (''yamei lilālāṇi naviṣyai'', literally "books of living beings", defining people who really live as Yunyalīlti people, contrasting with the "non-life" (for it is wrong and harmful) or heretics), containing the principle norms the Yunyalīlti community adheres to. All of these books are considered sacred by all Yunyalīlti currents. In some secular countries where the Yunyalīlta is followed by a sizable minority of people (most notably all of Greater Skyrdagor), personal matters among people of this community may be judged partially according to these books. | In order of importance, after the Books of the Chlamiṣvatrā, come the ''Lallaṣvatrāṇāveyai'' (sg.

The Preachers' Book (''yamei khlakullaili naviṣya''), mainly a historical text about the very first preachers after the Chlamiṣvatrā Lelāgṇyāviti, is sacred in the Chlouvānem, Bronic, and Holenagic currents but not in the Skyrdegan and Qualdomelic ones. Its continuation, the Book of the Inquisition (''yamei murkadhānāvīyi naviṣya'') is only sacred in the Chlouvānem tradition, as are the Sacred Encyclicals (''brausirena yaivjaiṭetadholtyē'') - a.k.a. Book of the Sacred Encyclicals (''yamei brausirena yaivjaiṭetadhaulti naviṣya'') -, a collection of encyclicals of particular theological, philosophical, or liturgical importance, usually encyclicals written in particularly important historical moments and later sanctified by later Great Inquisitors. The Book of the Sacred Encyclicals is the only holy book that is periodically updated and changed, by adding new relevant encyclicals and, sometimes, by removing some that have become obsolete in the meantime; this revision process is carried out by a special tribunal, whose members are chosen by the Inquisitorial Conclave. | The Preachers' Book (''yamei khlakullaili naviṣya''), mainly a historical text about the very first preachers after the Chlamiṣvatrā Lelāgṇyāviti, is sacred in the Chlouvānem, Bronic, and Holenagic currents but not in the Skyrdegan and Qualdomelic ones.
