M. has written detailed commentary on Upasak-dasha Sutra along OYR
with Sanskrit version and the literal meaning of each word. It has O

Mala. At present it is rarely available. Besides these, Agam N
R
E
Prakashan Samiti, Beawar (Rajasthan) has published Hindi TE

P
translation of both the Sutras. I have consulted both for this work. C
However, for the original text I have relied on the version used by
Acharya Samrat Shri Atmaram Ji M.
The main source of inspiration to me in publication of Agam
literature has been my reverendteacher, Bhandari Shri Padma Chand

Jain Scriptures. It was his inspiration that brought out an awakening
in my mind to publish an illustrated Hindi-English version ofAgams.
I then made a determination that I shall devote my entire life for
propagation of scriptures. To give a practical shape to this
determination, seven Sutras have been published so far in the form of
