________________
a memorable service to Jain literature by bringing out the most, authentic authoritative and reliable elucidation of the Jaina Bible.
The Tattvarthasutra in English, for the English reading public under title the --REALITY’. This book is noted for its depth and simplicity of expression. Prof. S.A. Jain being a profound scholar both in Sanskrit and English COULD ONLY do this tremendous and meritorious task. His style approximates to that of the original in it's simplicity, charm and clarity of thought. Prof. Jain's work is an asset to Scholars to have a glimpse of the lofty ideals contributed by Jain seers for the promotion of real and everlasting happiness of living beings. Such a remarkable contribution is the result of many years of devoted and regular study of the original text. Before closing my foreword, I, Bless all those who are responsible to bring out a reprint of this book.
Our thanks are due to Sri D. Sampathkumar, President, Jain Youth Forum and the Publishers, JWALAMALINI TRUST, Madras – 600 053 (S. INDIA) in their efforts in reprinting this book.
With Blessings,
