(PRE LA O E)
I was way back in 1969 that we acquired, the photocopy of the Lilavatı -sára from the Raj isthani Oriental Research listitute, Jodhpur, with
View to edit it for the insiitutu's Research Series. Because of several other works on hand, they editing work could not be started for a few Jews, It was in 1972 that we began to prepare the press copy of the text, and working intermittently, we could complete it by the beginning of 1975. Birther work on the Lilavati sāra was held up because other pressing Hockenervened Arrangements were made at that time to publish the work in the cap. Researoh Series. The printing 06 the text was completed bv 1980, but the work on the introduction etc.) could not be taken up till 1982. We feel greatly relieved by being able at long last to complete an unduly prolong d task. There is also some satisfaction that in this way we could accomplish something that late Muni Jinavijayaji would have wished, because the Litāvart-såra was also in the list of important work, há wanted eventually to get edited and published.
There remains for us the very pleasant duty of expressing our sense of gratitude towards the individuals and institutions that have been helpful to us in one way or another in the present undertaking.
$1 Rajasiban Oriental Research Institute Bindly loaded the photostat and gave penatission to publish the work. L.D. Institute of Indology not only accepted the work for publication in its distinguished: Series, but also generously extended the time-limit for completing the work. Pandit Dilsukh Malvania and Dr. Nagin Shah have provided all requisite fecility for g tting the work properly printed and published. Swati printing press. Aditva Mudranlaya and Tirhut Printers have given all necessary co-operation in the printing of the work. We express our sincere thanks to all of them.
Our special thanks are due to Dr N.M. Kansara, who gave his valuable assietance in transcribing the text from the photo-copy, in settling the interpretation of a few doubtful passages, and in preparing the summary of the work.
Following Jinaratoa, we hope that by this publication
सुखात् कथासुधास्वादः पाठकानां विधास्यते ।
