the applied angle or the conduct facet which truly touches the life of all and sundry.
"Jaina Acara Siddhanta Aura Swarupa", was published in 1982. Pt. Dalsukh Malvania, a great scholar of Jaina philosophy, commented, "It would not be an exaggeration if I call this work the encyclopaedia of Jaina conduct. There is no topic of Jaina conduct that has been left untouched. Moreover, all related subjects have been discussed along with suitable references from other literary works. Conduct part of other religions has also been discussed as a background. Conduct from both 'Svetambara and Digambara sects has been elaborated with apt references." Almost all the scholars, who studied this work expressed there strong desire to see its English Version.
Prof. Kalayanmal Lodha advised that it should be translated by a scholar having command over the English language and a proper understanding of Jaina philosophy. As such, the work was entrusted to Shri Nagarmal Sahal, a renowned scholar from Jodhpur who has attained celebrity in translating very many books of a varied nature. The three chapters on Vedics, Buddhists and Ajivakas have been left out to avoid tautology and strictly justify its title.
This is a joint publication by Shri Taraka Guru Jain Granthalaya. Udaipur and Prakrit Bharati, Jaipur. Many thanks are due to M. Vinai Sagar. No less valuable was the assistance of Dr. Raj Krishna Dugar for the pains he took in having the translation ready on time.
