FOREWORD
It gives me great pleasure, indeed, .in publishing Dr. Ramjee Singh's thesis entitled “The Jaina Concept of Omniscience" on the auspicious occasion of 2500th year of Nirvāna of Lord Mabavırā who is cherished as an
mniscient Tirthankara by the Jainas. The author has done full justice to the subject and has given unmistakable evidence of wide study of the works pertaining to the subject. He has dealt with all those topics that have beasing on the subject. He has examined all those traditional arguments for and against omniscience. His Conclusion (chapter IX) is worthy of note. Thus the present study is thorough and systematic; it touches every aspect of the Jalna theory of Omniscience.
