PANCASUTRA : A STUDY 147 when he observes at the commencement of his Vyakhya : ...न हि प्रायः पापप्रतिघातेन गुणबीजाधानं विना तत्त्वतस्तच्छ्रद्धाभावप्ररोहः, न चासत्यस्मिन् साधुधर्मपरिभावना, न चापरिभावितसाधुधर्मस्य प्रव्रज्याग्रहणविधावधिकारः, न चाप्रतिपन्नस्तां तत्परिपालनाय यतते, न चापालने एतत्फलमाप्नोतीति प्रवचनसार एष सज्ज्ञानक्रियायोगात् / -p. 2.lines 2-5 Professor K. V. Abhyankar, in his Foreword to the edition of Pancasuttam by Prof V. M. Shah, pub. by Gurjar Grantharantna Karyalaya, Gandhi Road, Ahmedabad, 1934, observes thus : ... is a small elegant treatise... The book has occupied a position of high esteem among the post-Agama works on Jaina Religion. In the small treatise the author has given a cogent and logical presentation of the spiritual uplift of the pious individual in five chapters which mark the five successive steps of his spiritual progress. The presentation is fully logical although a little bit unmethodical and the expression is chaste and adequate although a little bit archaic at places. It is the semireligious character and antiquity of the book that attracted a great scholar like Haribhadrasuri to the book and inspired him to write a gloss on it." (Italics ours) 16.
