TATTVARTHA SÜTRA
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
It is not possible to accomplish a work of this magnitude without guidance and help from different scholars and their works and I must admit that I have been immensely benefited in my search for the subject-matter for this work and have derived them from various sources, which I must acknowledge.
The Jaina masters and scholars whose works have immensely helped me are Acarya Ātmārāmjī, Acarya Ghāsilalji, Upadhyāya Kevalmuni, Pt. Sukhlaljī Sanghavi, Pt. khubcandjī Sddhintaśāstrī, Prof. Sagarmal Jain, Pt. Pannalal Jain, Dr. Sujuko Ohira and many more. I am deeply indebted to all of them.
I must also acknowledge the generosity of Shri Mangilalji Bothra of M/s Askaran Chaturbhuj, Tezpur (Assam), Mr. Peter Brian Cabena and Dr. (Mrs) Rashmi Baya Cabena of Melbourne, Australia, who have very willingly rendered monetary support for the publication of this work. The publishers and printers also deserve to be remembered with gratitude as this publication is in the hands of the readers due to their timely co-operation only.
My grateful thanks are also due to Prof. Sagarmal Jain who has, very kindly, written the FOREWORD for this work.
My wife, Shrimati Kanta Baya and other members of my family also helped me by sparing me from the family responsibilities to enable me to work on this treatise unhindered.
