Ok here’s the difference but before I continue , I’d like to mention that the word Hinayana is no politically correct to use nowadays . It is a word found in some Mahayana Sutras ( not most ) and meant Smaller Vehicle there not lower or anyrthing else . Smaller because less people followed it in ancient India and even today ( 71.62% are Mahayana Buddhists while 28.38% are Theravada )
We know this because this word was translated into Tibetan and Chinese too as SMALLER . Sanskrit is a very rich language and one word has many meanings . However , today in most Indic languages it has come to mean lower , lowly , mean , stingy et al . Therefore , misunderstanding this word is easy so many Theravadin Scholars have objected to that word and we must all honour that objection as Buddhists .
The word Sravakayana is found both in Theravada which is a Sravaka Nikaya , like the 22 other Sravaka Nikaya that vanished due to Hindu persecution and the final blow was given by the Islamic invasion, and in the Mahayana texts too .
