I am very glad to place in the hands of scholars this bibliography of Doctoral Dissertations in Jaina and Buddhist studies. The importance of bibliographies and subject indices cannot be denied in the present world of everincreasing knowledge. P. V. Research Institute is fully devoted to the cause of researches in Indology in general and Jainology in particular. Hence it is its primary duty to publish such bibliographies and subject indices as those which are helpful to the researchers in knowing what has been done and what is going on in their respective fields of studies.
PUBLISHERS NOTE
I am grateful to Dr. Sagar Mal Jain, Director, P. V. Research Institute and Dr. Arun Pratap Singh, Research Assistant for the compilation of this Bibliography of Doctoral. Dissertations in Jaina and Buddhist Studies including Pāli, Prakrit and Apabhransa.
I think, this book will be very helpful to the researchscholars as well as those who are interested in Jaina and Buddhist studies. It will also serve the purpose of showing what contribution $ramanic traditions--Jainas and Buddhistshave made to the literary and cultural heritage of India and what is the need of establishing of Research Institutes for this cause. If our efforts are appreciated, we may plan to publish the bibliography of the research works done abroad and subjects indices of the published works and articles on Jainism and Buddhism.
