feeling that the Sessions of the International Jaina Congress or Conference, which are organized with the main objective of promoting unity, awakening and consolidation of Jain religious and ethical values among householders all over the world, and which also bring out worthy Souvenirs with contributions of eminent scholars, should also pay attention to the promotion or consolidation of Jainological and Prakrit studies, wherever needed, in India or other countries.
Now let me record here due courtesy to all the publishers/editors of journals and the various Felicitation and Commemoration Volumes, Souvenirs, Research Bulletins, etc., wherein most of these papers have already appeared. Of course, I had reserved the right in each case to republish it. I have mentioned the respective name of each Journal or Research publication with an asterisk mark under Notes and References or Select Bibliography of each respective paper.
Lastly, I am extremely grateful to the Prakrit Bharati Academy, Jaipur, particularly to its esteemed Director, Mahopadhyay Vinay Sagarji, for including this significant and major work of mine, in the series of their publications and bringing it out in so short a time and in such a fine form.
