THE original text of Purushártha Siddhyupáya with its
translation and commentaries, by the learned Editor, Mr. Ajit Prasada, appeared in the pages of the Jaina Gazette in the years 1913-1917.
Kumar Devendra Prasada Jaina of Arrah, prepared a press copy, with great industry, and 9 forins of the book had been printed by the Indian Press of Allahabad, when Kumar Sahib died suddenly in March 1921. These forms were unfortunately damaged by white-ants.
Its fresh publication was delayed from year to year, through one reason or another. From 1923 to 1929, Mr. Ajit Prasada was engaged in conducting and supervising a series of cases in the High Court at Patna, and at Calcutta, Bombay, Hazaribagh, Ranchi, Patna and elsewhere, in respect of Jaina places of pilgrimage at Sammed Shikhar, Rajgir and Pawapuri. In 1929 and 1930 he had little time to spare from the responsible duties of his office as High Court Judge at Bikaner. From 1930 he has been at Lahore conducting a large number of complicated First Appeals in the High Court, there, the conduct of which he took over to save Seth Prem Sagar, the son of his friend Dr. Sir Moti Sagar, from the importunate demands of clients for return of fees already paid. The publication has thus been delayed till now. I trust the expectant and indulgent reader will pardon the delay.
I have much pleasure in mentioning the names of my brothers, Vira Nandan Jindal and Kailash Bhushan Jindal, the former having assisted me in the preparation of the General Index, and the latter in arranging an alphabetical Index of the Sanskrit Slokas,
