FOREWORD One of the impressive features of Jainism is its saying power. It is generally assumed to have had its beginnings with the Tirthankara Parsvanatha in the 8th century B. C. and, though today it has only a relatively small body of adherents, it maintains a healthy, lively, and productive existence in both of its two great divisions. In the many contacts which I have had with both Jain munis and Jain laymen during the past forty-three years I have observed the zeal with which the Jain community, both monks and laymen, preserves, studies, publishes and preaches its literature and honors the Jain teachings in their living. The Jains are not only a gentle people, but also a devoted and industrious people in conserving their faith. Furthermore, in our own time as in the past, the Jain munis constantly produce new works of religious edification, which may be written in English, but much more often in Gujrati, Hindi, Kanarese and other modern spoken languages of India and in Sanskrit as well, which learned Jain monks, like learned Hindu scholars, use for intellectual communication. Most surprising in this diligence in producing For Private And Personal Use Only

works in ancient and modern languages is the use in new publications of the canonical Ardhamagadhi and in the commentarial Jaina Maharashtri Prakrita. I have met monks whose fluency with Jaina Maharashtri is such they can speak extemporaneously in it when addressing public meetings. And there are some monks who can write freely in it and compose verses in it, using the traditional metre specially the Arya. Such a product is Muni Chandanmal's 'Rayana valakaha'. From one point of view this work is a tour de force, an astonishing achievement, but it is also more than that. It is a work of devotion,a product of religious devotion, meant by the author to promulgate Eternal Truth, as the Jain faith conceives it, and by presenting those teachings in narrative form to make them more comprehensible to the world to stimulate zeal in spreading them. Whatever one's personal doctrines about cosmic order and religious belief, one must regard such a motive as a noble one, which should be listened to attentively, and a work so motivated must be respected.
