**Sarvarthasiddhi**
3. Jagaroop Sahayaji, a lawyer residing in Eta, also undertook the task of writing a commentary on this. When the lawyer was preparing this commentary, I had left my position as a Dharma-Adhyapaka (religious teacher) at the Shri Syadvad Digambar Jain Mahavidyalaya. Therefore, the lawyer invited me to Delhi to make necessary revisions and improvements in the commentary, and I stayed there for a month and made the necessary revisions. However, after the work was completed, I had to leave without any support. He is also not present before us now, otherwise, I would have attempted to shed light on the special features of the commentary.
Apart from these three, I am not aware of anyone else who has written a Hindi translation of Sarvarthasiddhi or its language-commentary. Visheshukim Adhikam.
4. **Acknowledgement**
As I have already mentioned in the beginning, the edition of Sarvarthasiddhi-Vrittika with the erroneous translation that is before us is the second edition. The present edition is to be printed without any changes, except for the revisions we have made. We prepared this edition for printing at the behest of our esteemed brother Lakshmichandraji of the Bharatiya Gyanpeeth, and we are deeply grateful to him. We are also particularly grateful to Dr. Gulabchandraji. It is due to his inspiration that we were able to revise and edit this edition in such a short period. In preparing this edition, we have meticulously compared the original text with the translation. And the necessary revisions have been made in both the original and the translation. We have also re-examined the preface word by word. It does not contain anything that is not supported by the Agamas. It can be tested against the yardstick of the Agamas at any time. It was on this very preface that we were not only welcomed and honored by the Vice-President of India with a certificate of appreciation at the Dil Loke Vigyan Bhavan, but we were also adorned with the honorary title of 'Siddhant Ratna'. All this is the result of the wisdom of the revered Acharya Vidyānanda Mahārāj, and we are deeply grateful to him. We wish that all the scholars in India who follow the Agamas should be welcomed and honored in the same way. This is a time of decline, and we sincerely hope that the tradition of scholarly scholars will continue uninterrupted. The revered Acharya possesses all the qualities, and his influence on society is unshakeable. If he takes this task in his hands, we do not see any reason why it will not be successful. We are confident that it will be successful.
