PUBLISHER'S NOTE
Contribution of Jaina scholars to various schools of Sanskrit learning has always been a matter of appreciation We find almost parallel works on the line of Vedic scholars
Present work is related to the Jainism Volumes in question contain very interesting and significant matter on various aspects of Jainism. The language is very lucid and formative. It is really very heartening that this treasure of Jainism has been presented in English It will decidedly be beneficial and conveniently accessible to one and all. An added quality of this is being very authoritative. Persons not only interested in the religion and philosophy of Jainism, even otherwise conscious, will find themselves very much enlightened after reading these volumes.
The woik being written by a Jaina scholar by his own pen in English makes the work most authentic based on original sources and tradition of the Sampradaya The tradition could be preserved so as to guide the coming generations like a torch Several traditions have either been lost or one finds oneself in dark for the want of a guiding work Present work will serve the coming generations to find a corect interpretation of various important problems connected with Jainism It will also apprise a reader of an important branch of Indian culture Prior to its publication there has been a feeling in the scholars that this is a dry subject or one that could be neglected in a study of indian culture The present attempt of Shri Muni Ratna Prabha Vijaya wili do away with this
