INTRODUCTION इति श्रीजिनेश्वरसूरिशिष्यलेशाभयतिलकगणिविरचितायांश्रीहेमचन्द्राभिधानशब्दानुशासनद्वधाश्रयवृत्तौ विंशः सर्ग: समर्थितः ।

One Lakşmitilakagani, a common friend of these two 'commentators has looked over and corrected both these commentaries, and his service is thankfully acknowledged at the end of the commentaries on both • the parts.
