PUBLISHER'S NOTE
Dr. G.C. Pande, a renowned Indologist and the former ViceChancellor of the Universities of Rajasthan and Allahabad has expressed his erudite views on a little known but interesting Subject-Jain Political Thought. We are indeed indebted to him because this work has helped Prakrit-Bharati, a voluntary non-profit literary body, to pursue its objective of bringing out books on ancient texts and themes. It is hoped that this effort too would evoke interest both among the scholars and the common readers.
We are grateful to Shri Ravindra Singhvi, Shrimati Amila Singhvi, Shri Prithvi Haldea and Shri Arun Shah of Sobhagya Advertising Service, New Delhi for designing, phototypesetting and printing of this book.
