The sole purpose of this publication, with the special financial assistance of Shri Hukmichandji Sa. Chordia [Life-Line] is to make the Jain Agamas, the guides to the path of liberation, accessible for reading and study at the lowest possible price. Therefore, the committee has no regional boundaries or sectarian affiliations. It is the same for all regions, provinces and countries, and for all ganas, gachchas and communities. This is why the committee is receiving support from Jain enthusiasts residing in various parts of India. However, it would be inappropriate not to mention that the contribution of the large Chordia family of Nokha (Chandavats) is extremely important and commendable. The financial support provided by various members of this family in this Herculean task of publication is extraordinary. Earlier, many Agamas were published with the financial assistance of the gentlemen of this family, and this present Agama is also being published with the special financial assistance of a distinguished member and wealthy Seth Hukmichandji Chordia of this family.
