Publisher's Foreword
I really feel proud to place before the public this unique work on Sanskrit Grammar by Mahamahopadhyaya Shree Vinaivijaijee Maharaj. The book is a commentary, in the form of Prakriya, on the great Grammatical publication "SIDDH HEM SHABDANUSHASAN" by the renowned Acharya Shree Hem Chandra Maharaj and makes the subject much smoother for the Sanskrit learing public.
Importance of grammar is well appreciated. A person having vast ideas at his command will simply put himself to ridicule if he betrays his ignorance of this important subject. With the object of making this subject easy to be grasped by people with common intellect, the author has tried to make it clear and has rightly steered the course of this difficult subject.
I shall be failing in my duty if I do not show my indebtedness to those who are really responsible for the publication of this great work. Personally I am not a scholar to appreciate the sterling value of the Editor of this book, Upadhyaya Shree Kshma Vijaijee Maharaj, famous in Jain com. munity for his learning, eloquence and character, who took great pains in compiling and editing this work. He is a Punjabi by birth, but has a wonder. ful mastery over the Gujarati Language. It was he who impressed upon me the usefulness of this work and another book "HEMLINGANUSHASAN" with two commentaries (now in the press) which was also unpublished.
It was while taking his lessons from his Guru Shree Amivijaijec that the talented Upadhyayajec realised the value and importance of the publication of the books. During his stay at Ahmedabad, he procured a copy of the work from Jain Vidyashala and set to his work. Next year he came to Bombay and at my request visited our Gnăn Mandir. My father was very fond of rare books and Manuscripts and had made a nice collection of them in the form of a private library, which he had left in the charge of the trustees. It was during the inspection of these manuscripts that Upadhyayajee came across a nice manuscript of Hem prakash copied in Samvat 1743. He decided to place the book before the public with the help of this copy.
