the munificent donations provided by the trusts of the Bhogilal Leherchand family and through Ātma Vallabh Jaina Smarak Shikshan Nidhi to sponsor and promote research in Indology and other aspects of Indian culture, objectives dear to Revered Acharyasriji. Ach. Vijay Vallabhji Maharaj was advised by his guru in his last sermon:
"Temples to God have been built. Now you must build temples to Sarasvati."
The academic programme of the Institute is to initiate, organise and give a fillip to research in Indological subjects in general and Jainology in particular.
Our thanks are also due to Sri Rajkumarji, General Secretary of Sri Atma Vallabh Jaina Smarak Shikshan Nidhi, for the keen interest shown in this publication.
We also thank to the staff of the BLII, for their assistance and cooperation in various ways, especially to Mr. Laxmi Kant, Computer Operator, BLII who has very sincerely accomplished the task of in corporating proof correction and type-setting. We wish that the work receives appreciation of scholars and proves incentive to the translator for bringing out similar works in future.
