The publication of this book is a prelude to the Encyclopaedia of Jainism that the Jain Vishva Bharti is going to publish shortly.
The treatment is historical and comparative throughout, giving, at the same time, a comprehensive and critical view of the topics selected for exposition.
Really speaking the book contains rare and valuable information regarding the monastic order of the Jainas and its value is all the more enhanced when one finds oneself able to appreciate it among other systems of monastic order. The learned writers of this book have made a detailed and comparative survey of the field of study covered by the topics.
