A firm resolve was made, which was praised by all with open hearts. My most revered Sadguru, Upadhyay Shri Pushkarmuniji M., who was the closest friend and classmate of Yuvacharyashri, also had the same auspicious thought that the work of the Agamas is extremely necessary in today's age. By studying them, a person can save himself from the dazzling glare of materialism. I am extremely delighted that the work of editing and publishing the Agamas is progressing at a very rapid pace. Under the guidance of Yuvacharyashri, the new editions of the Agamas are reaching the hands of enlightened readers and they are being embraced by the readers with great affection.
The hard work of the wise, expert in the art of editing, Shri Shobhachandji Bharill, is also noteworthy in making this edition the best. It is hoped that this edition will be very useful for Agama practitioners, self-study lovers. May the fragrance of this fragrant flower spread freely in all directions, this is my auspicious feeling.
