Agams. I have used the Hindi commentary by Acharyashri at many places in my elaborations. In fact, I could make this edition much more useful only with the help of these reference works. I am deeply indebted to all those authors of the past.
As always, Shrichand Surana 'Saras, my close associate in this project of editing Agams, has ensured the usefulness of this work through his sincere editorial contribution as well as conceiving and supervising the theme based lively illustrations. Shri Surendra Bothara has shown his eloquence in his English translation as artists Sardar Purushottam Singhji and Shri Trilok Sharma in their colourful illustrations. Shri Rajkumar Jain of Delhi, a scholar of Jain philosophy and English language has also provided his voluntary and valuable services to this work. I am grateful to them all for their able assistance.
With the blessings of Uttar Bharatiya Pravartak Pujya Gurudev Bhandari Padmachandraji M. my work in the field of Jain scriptures is progressing steadily. I am confident that I will be able to fulfil my mission of spreading the word of the Jina (Shrut seva) and give meaning to my life. This project has received contributions with the inspiration of Sadhvi Shri Santoshkumariji, the scholarly disciple of respected Up-pravartini Sadhvi Shri Jagadishmatiji M., and a bold orator in her own right. Contributions have also been received from many generous devotee shravaks of Gurudev with their missionary zeal for Shrut seva. I convey my heartfelt thanks to them all.
