I have hope that there will be space for observation beyond perception, and that it will open a path for such observation. Not only in following the tradition, but also in realizing how little my contribution is to this whole endeavor, I wish to acknowledge some assistance here. My sincere gratitude for the initial chapters of this discussion goes to my mentor, Shri Kanti Vijayji, and his enthusiastic disciple, Muniji Shri Punyavijayji, for their active support. The careful review of the entire manuscript and all related work was conducted by the co-editor, Pandit Bechar Das Jiwaraj Doshii, of the Nyay Vyakarana Tirtha and Sanmatitarka. Furthermore, his extraordinary assistance lies in clarifying the issues of introduction and writing historical notes on them, not only that, but he has also penned many notes that I could not write myself. I have also utilized the studies of Jain scriptures by Pandit Bhagwandas Harkchand and Bhai Shri Hirachand Devchand in this work. The work on Tattvartha was initiated before I joined the university, and some work was done. It was only upon completing it while being in the university that I feel it is right to dedicate this book to the university. I am purifying the Antiquities Temple.
