Sāgarānandasūriji got printed Ägamaratnamañjūsā as he wanted to get inscribed this printed text of all the Āgamas on marble-stones of Agama-mandir at Palitana.
So - This refers to the text of Āvaśyakasūtra occurring in the Vrtti by Ac. Haribhadrasuri, contained in the ms. belonging to the Jesalmer Bhandara. This ms. bears No. 34-35. At the instance of Munirāja Shri Punyavijayaji his expert copyist noted down the
