We also thank the trustees of Sheth Shantilal Khets hibhai Charity Trust Fund for their liberal donation. This series is merely a beginning, only first step in the matter of systematic popularisation of Jaina religion and oulture. It really cannot succeed without the help and co-operation of many. Now we find that, if the plan is assiduously pursued, we would be able to bring to light many more savants of Jainism like Sbri Harisatya Bhattacharya. Also, it is necessary and desirable that many more scholars should receive training in this field for the propagation of Jaina religion and culture.
Every effort has been made to see that the thesis has used the terminology of Jainism properly. However, we crave the indulgence of the readers for any omissions or commissions that might have been crept in the book. Finally, We thank all, whose co-operation has brought out. this book. We are particularly thankful to Shri S. P. Badami and Shri Fatehchandbhai Jhaverb hai, who were the members of the examining committee. We are also thankful to Prin. K. C. Shah M, A., the Vice-President of this Sabha, whose enthusiasm and labour have been of invaluable belp to us in the publication of this book. We place this book in the hands of our readers in the hope that they may be inspired by its message.
