As for the translation, some difficulty was mainly felt in locating the appropriate words, not only enough for expressing the intention and purpose of the original authors, but also for watching that basic concept and principles of Jainism remain unaltered and are duly correctly conveyed. Afterall original is original and translation is translation, but nonetheless the utility and usefulness is present with full force.
I closely noted that Shri jain so devotedly engaged to the task entrusted to him. that he hardly cared for family discomforts, his health and other odds. The blessings of Muni Shri was the greatest source of his inspiration.
The learned readers would find mistakes and latches, and they would really do a great favour and shri jain shall feel rewarded, if they very kindly convey the same to him.
I am confident that the book would serve as a 'ladder for the soul of every Manav' to rise up spiritually.
