Acknowledgement
It has been my desire to present the earliest Digambara texts in English before the wider world of scholars and general readers so that they may learn the earlier Jinistic thoughts on Karma theory and related topics. This desire was strengthened when many scholars abroad complained of non-availability of such texts. I have rendered the first part of Șatkhandāgama in English, which was released by Prof. P. S. Jaini of Berkeley USA recently. The Kasāya-pāhuda is another text, which I thought next for presentation in English. I do not know how for I have been successful in my endeavour. However, I have tried to be faithful to the text. The ignorantial and accidental slips may be there which may be excused but communicated to me for future betterment.
I take this opportunity to acknowledge my grateful thanks to the following scholars and persons who have been helpful to me in this uphill task in different ways. I do hope their encouragement and guidance in my future academic adventures also: 01. Chandraprabha Mandir Trust Clo Br. Amarchandji, Satna 02. Br. Vinodji, Papaura, Tikamgarh
