PREFACE : LXV
a compilation of preachings concerning the mutual relationship between the master and the disciple and those that motivate the latter towards detachment, which only establishes the spiritual impot of this work. Today, in the absesnce of their translated versions, the prakīrnakas may not have been able to make a mark as compared to other canonical texts, but when the whole of translated prakīrņaka-literature shall reach the people, they are sure to realize their value and importance. Keeping this in view, the Āgama Ahimsā Samatā Evami Praksta Samsthāna, Udaipur has undertaken the onerous task of translating and publishing the whole of Prakīrņaka literature and it is the third prakīrņaka in the series of Hindi translations and the very first in english translation. 'How far has the Samsthāna been successful in its venture ? This is a question to be answered by the learned readers.
