language and literature is indispensible for comprehending the development of Hindi literature rightly and adequately.
Recognising the importance of Apabhramba language in the cultural history of India, the Managing Committe of Digambara Jaina Atiśaya Kșetra, Śri Mahaviraji established 'Apabhramśa Sahitya Academy in 1988. The Academy has published books for teaching Apabhramśa language. Books on Apabhraṁsa Grammar and Composition and textual reading in Hindi have been published for those desirous of learning Apabhraíśa language through Hindi medium. For teaching Apabhramśa language to the English knowing people, our new publication, 'Apabhramśa Grammar and Composition' which is the english translation of 'Apabhramśa Racana Saurabha' in Hindi will facilitate the learning of Apabhraṁsa to the students of english language.
We offer our thanks to the learned researchers of the Samsthana (Institute) and to M/s Jaipur Printers Pvt. Ltd. for organising the publication of the book.
