them to be easy to understand. The Vrtti follows the readings on which we have written notes indicated by underlines. Wherever the Maladhārīyā Tikā comments, we have finalized the readings on the basis of this Țikā and old mss. of the Sūtra. But where Țikā or Cūrni does not comment we have finalised the readings on the basis of the old mss. of the Sūtra after having considered their propriety and special utility.
We feel it proper to discuss some readings which are given in foot-notes and also those on which the foot-notes have been written.
NANDISŪTRA 1. The reading noted in foot-note 3 on p. 8 does not occur in the mss. utilized by us. Before writing this 'Editor's Note' we have examined the concerned place in 6-7 mss. preserved in the different Bhandāras deposited in the Lalbhai Dalpatbhai Bhāratīya Sanskřti Vidyamandir. These mss. too do not contain this reading. That is, only that reading which is accepted by us has been found in all the mss. of the Nandisūtra, examined and utilized by us. Again, this reading is accepted in the two editions of the Nandisūtra-one published, along with the sīkā of Ac. Malayagiri and the translation, by Ray Dhanpatisiṁhji in 1936 V.S. and the other edited, with translation, by Shri Amolakașşiji in 1976 V.S. We have scrutinized nine 12 other published editions of the Nandisūtra which have been published after the one prepared by Ac. Sāgarānandasūriji. They all have accepted the reading found in the edition of Śrī Āgamodaya Samiti, published in 1973 V.S. That is, they have accepted the reading given in our foot-note. In 1942 A.D. (i.e. 1998 V.S.) Munirāja Hasti
12. 1. Published by Āgamodayasamiti in 1973 V.S. 2. Critical edition prepared by Muni śri Jñānasundaraji and published

version engraved in marble walls of Aga mamandira (Palitana)
(1999 V.S.) 7. Nandisutta contained in the Mülasuttāṇi edited by Pt. Muni śri
Kanhaiyalalji Mahārāj in 2010 V.S. 8. Nandisutra contained in the second part of Suttāgame edited by
Muni śri Puşpabhiksuji in 2011 V.S. 9. Nandisutra edited by Muni Sri Ghasilalji (along with his commen
tary and translation) in 2014 V.S. Thus we have scrutinized the concerned portions of eleven editions (nine mentioned above and two others-one prepared by Ray Dhanpatisimhji and the other by Amolakšşiji).
