## Praise
The learned one, adorned with countless virtues, proficient in the knowledge of Nayas and Pramanas, was a renowned disciple of the illustrious Gunabhadra Suri. || 14 ||
This Punyatri (blessed soul) conquered the pride of auspiciousness, understanding that the pure-minded Tapashri (goddess of austerity) was sent by the goddess of liberation as a swift messenger, and she served Gunabhadra with great affection, being endowed with the wealth of great virtues. || 15 ||
The rays of his words, like the sun and moon, dispelled the darkness of ignorance that resided in the hearts of people, and he delighted both the Kuvalaya (moon) and the Kamal (sun), thus conquering the spread of both. || 16 ||
This great Purana, based on the prose composition narrated by the supreme poet, is an example of all meters and figures of speech, with subtle meanings and profound word formations. It has rejected other poems, is worthy of being heard, and is extremely beautiful, as it shatters the pride of false poets. This is what the Lord Jinesena, the author of the commentary on the Siddhanta text, and the one who nurtured his disciples for a long time, has said. || 17-18 ||
The part of the text that remained from the words of Lord Jinesena was collected in a concise form by Gunabhadra Suri, the possessor of a pure intellect, due to the request of the time and the fear of excessive length. || 20 ||
This great Purana is devoid of unnecessary descriptions, easily understandable, written with excellent script, beneficial to all beings, and worthy of worship. Let the Bhavyas (aspirants for liberation) filled with devotion read and listen to this great Purana. || 21 ||
May those Bhavyas who desire to escape the cycle of birth and death contemplate this text repeatedly. They are the ones who possess pure right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct, and who are destined for future liberation. || 22 ||
Peace, victory, welfare, prosperity, happiness, union, separation, revolution, and the accumulation of immense wealth. || 23 ||
