EDITORS' NOTE
Ratilal Chimanlal Kothari-and members of the Agama Publication Committee entrusted to me the work of critically editing the text of the Bhagavatīsūtra. For this I am extremely grateful to them all.
Pt. Amrutlal Mohanlal Bhojak has extended his full cooperation to me in this task of mine. He has taken great pains in finalising the press-copy. Again, it is he who shouldered the responsibility of correcting proofs. But for his cooperation it would not have been possible for me to progress at such a speed in the work.
I am very grateful to Pt. Shri Dalsukhbhai Malvania, for supplying me the necessary mss. as also for sparing his valuable time for the consultation and discussion.
Shri Kantilal Dahyabhai Kora, Registrar, Shri Mahavira Jaina Vidyalaya, has taken personal interest in matters related to the Press. He has greatly facilitated my work by making all the necessary arrangements with the Press. He rightly deserves my heartfelt thanks.
My thanks are also due to Dr. Nagin J. Shah, the Dy. Director of L.D. Institute of Indology, who has been kind enough to prepare this 'Editor's Note'-an English translation of 'Sampādakiya' of this part.
I cannot forget Shastri Shri Harishankarabhai Ambaram Pandya who prepared the press-copy and helped me in correcting proofs. I am thankful to Pt. Shri Nagindas Kevaldas Shah who helped me in correcting proofs and noting variants.
Shri V. P. Bhagwat of the famous Mouj Printing Bureau, Bombay, has left upon me an everlasting impression by providing me with various printing facilities. I am very thankful to him for his kind cooperation.
