The propagation of [the secret] has taken place. Therefore, the statement that has been prevalent about confidentiality has now become merely a statement.
For a worthy Sadhu-Sadhvi, even the Cheda Sutra, let alone other Agamas, are not confidential; rather, it is no exaggeration to say that without studying the Cheda Sutras or understanding their ultimate meaning, the Sadhaka's practice is incomplete, crippled, and dependent, and without their most subtle study, the Sangha system is completely dark.
Without studying the ultimate meaning of the Cheda Sutras, Shraman Shramani cannot become even a lowly Bahushruta, and without being a lowly Bahushruta, they can always wander in dependence. They cannot hold any kind of prominence, cannot wander freely and roam, and always live their lives based on the decisions and foundations of others. For those who bear the burden of the Sangha system, it is absolutely necessary to understand these Cheda Sutras and their ultimate meaning.
Keeping these many perspectives in mind, this Hindi edition of the Cheda Sutras with commentary has been prepared. It is hoped that this will provide multifaceted guidance to ordinary Sadhakas and especially to those holding the position of Singhada and other such dignitaries.
Param Pujya Shraddhey Shri Kanhaiyalalji M. Sa. "Kamal" took my help in this important work of editing the Cheda Sutras and gave me the unparalleled opportunity of serving the Agamas, for which I am deeply grateful to him. His kindness cannot be forgotten in my lifetime.
Finally, if any kind of linguistic or typographical error has occurred in this editing collaboration due to ignorance or misunderstanding, I offer "Micchami Dukkadam" from the heart. I also hope that learned readers will forgive me for these mistakes, considering that "only the hidden is prone to error," and will accept the correct truth as per the Agamas.
