Knowledge of scriptures should be saved at any cost. No matter what, we have to pass on the contents of Agams to the next generation. When the popularity of Sanskrit and Prakrit faded our ancestors gave us the ambrosia of Agams through Hindi. So now when the youth of today is more at ease with English than Hindi, it becomes our duty to use English translation for carrying the pious message of Agams to them and show them the path to immortality.
My preface would not be complete without the pious remembrance of my revered teacher Uttar Bharatiya Pravartak Gurudev Bhandari Shri Padmachandra ji M. S. who always inspired me to pursue the service to the Shrut (Agams). Whatever I have achieved and whatever I am presently doing is the fruit of his kindness and blessings. The blessings of my Gurus have provided me guidance and support at every step.
My able disciple Shri Varun Muni and late Shri Shrichand ji Surana's son Shri Sanjay Surana have assisted me with all sincerity and devotion in editing this edition of Prashnavyãkaran Sutra.
Shri Rajkumar ji Jain, a scholar of Agams who leads an ascetic-like life as a householder, has done the English translation of this Agam. Shri Surendra Kumar ji Bothara has carefully gone through the English translation and made the required changes. My heartfelt thanks to them all.
Due to blessings of revered Gurudev, generous devotees have extended their cooperation and contributions to this pious and cost intensive project of publishing Illustrated Agams.
I convey my thanks and commendations to all those who have directly or indirectly co-operated in this mission.
-Amar Muni (Uttar Bharatiya Pravartak)
