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 | 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 yaivjātietadholtiė'') - a.k.a. Book of the Sacred Encyclicals (''yamei brausirena yaivjātietadhaulti 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. | ||
Also considered important but ''not'' sacred, in the Inquisition, are the Books of Law (''kūmarṇaviṣyai''): as the Lands of the Chlouvānem Inquisition are a theocratic country where religious laws apply, the most important ones are written in the holy books, while the Books of Law are used as an "addendum", collecting all laws that need to be written. Anyway, many parts of the Books of Law are chronicles of uses, in Inquisitorial tribunals, of interpretations already included among the ''Lallaṣvatrānāveyai'' or in the Book of the Inquisition. Obviously, this one is the only main Yunyalīlti book which is not recognized at all outside the Chlouvānem Inquisition. | Also considered important but ''not'' sacred, in the Inquisition, are the Books of Law (''kūmarṇaviṣyai''): as the Lands of the Chlouvānem Inquisition are a theocratic country where religious laws apply, the most important ones are written in the holy books, while the Books of Law are used as an "addendum", collecting all laws that need to be written.
