comment. Even if I have inadvertently overlooked to give credit at some place it does not in any way reduce my indebtedness to these great scholars of Agams. I express my gratitude to their scholarly endeavours of distilling the knowledge acquired through their long and arduous studies and experiences, for the benefit of the posterity.
It was not very difficult to make illustrations for the Agams I edited before this one because they belong to the narrative style. This is a book of the code of conducts, and to illustrate its content with appropriate visual representation was a difficult assignment. However, my close associate and an expert scholar and editor of Agams in his own right, Shrichand ji Surana visualized and got the illustrations made from an experienced artist. Shri Surendra Bothara has used his knowledge of languages and Jain terminology as well as the skill of translating to render the flowing English translation and make this work useful for non-Hindi readers also. I am thankful to all these who have put in commendable efforts in bringing out this edition.
This cost intensive work of producing illustrated Agams cannot be completed without the support of financial contributions. Giving inspiration as well as actual contribution are equally important. Some charitable individuals inspired by revered Mahasati Tapacharya Shri Mohanmala ji M. and Shramanisurya Up-pravartini Dr. Shri Sarita ji M. have liberally contributed for this venture. Many devotees of revered Gurudevshri have also liberally contributed to help the pious work of Shrut Seva (service to the scriptures). They all deserve my hearty thanks.
I am confident that this edition will promote the study of Dashavaikalik Sutra in a wider area and people will benefit from the teachings contained in this Agam. With the hope and wish that it will make their life blissful
