________________ 168 STUDIES IN JAIN LITERATURE separate volumes of the critically edited text accompanied by Introduction, Translation, Notes, etc., in English and in Modern Indian Languages adding English translation of Sampadakiya (Editors' Note) and of Prastavana (Introduction) to the Gujarati preface as is done here-although considerations of resources at hand and of economy might have influenced this decision of bringing out the present edition in its present form does not appeal to one's aesthetic sense. Finally, the volumes of critically edited texts of the Jaina agamas, should be, as far as practicable, brought out on uniform pattern. These suggestions apart, it is superfluous to add that the present edition is simply superb. Its printing is pleasing to the eye and get-up excellent. The editors deserve warmest congratulations for presenting to the world of scholars, especally scholars of Jainology, this splendid critical edition. 000 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
