The **Prakashkiy Ardhamagadhi Jain Agam-Sahitya** is an invaluable treasure of Indian culture and literature. Unfortunately, due to the lack of available translations of these texts, both the general public and scholars are unfamiliar with them. Many of the Agam texts, though ancient and spiritually profound, have remained inaccessible. It is our good fortune that the original texts of these scattered texts, edited by the revered Muni Shri Punyavijayji, have been published by the Shri Mahavira Jain Vidyalaya, Bombay. However, due to the lack of translations, they have not become accessible to the general public. For this reason, the Coordination Committee of Jain Vidya scholars decided to prioritize the publication of translated Agam texts and commentaries. In this context, the task of translating the scattered texts was given to the Agam Institute. The Institute has so far published three scattered texts, namely **Devendrastava**, **Tandulavaicharaka**, and **Chandravedhyaka**, along with their translations.
We are pleased to announce that Shri Suresh Sisodiya, Associate Research Officer of the Institute, has completed the translation of **"Mahapratyakhyan-Prakirnak"**. The present book has been enriched by the detailed and thoughtful introduction written by Professor Sagarmalji Jain, Honorary Director of the Institute, and Shri Suresh Sisodiya. We are grateful to them for their contribution. We are also grateful to Professor Kamalchandji Sogani, Honorary Co-Director, Dr. Sushmaji Singhavi, Honorary Co-Director, and Shri Virendra Singhji Lodha, Minister, who are providing all possible support and guidance in the development of the Institute. Dr. Subhash Kothari is also involved in the Institute's scattered text translation project, and we are grateful to him.
On this occasion of publication, we also express our gratitude to the officials of the Parshvanath Vidyalaya Research Institute, Varanasi, who provided ample facilities and support during the printing of this book in Varanasi.
