I wish that Jaina society should take the responsibility of its publication and circulate lakhs of copies of their precious text. The copies of samaṇasuttaṁ should be with all the temples, monks, scholars and laities. Like Bhagvadgita each and every house ought to keep it as an essential one for daily reading. Sarva Seva Sangh will willingly hand over the responsibility of its publication to Jaina Society with one reservation that no change should be made without prior and explicit approval of prominent Jaina Acharyas of Svetambara, Digambar, Terapanthi and Sthanakavasi Jaina sects.
I will also like to thank Dr. Harihar Singh, Lecturer, Ancient History. B.H.U. who transliterated into Roman, Prakrita gathas of Samaṇasuttaṁ which was lost unfortunately. It is the Roman transliteration by Dr. Ashok Kumar Singh, P.V. Research Institute, which is appearing with the text of the English edition. He has also done proof-reading. My thanks are due to him also. My sincere thanks to M/s. Ratna Printing Press for fine Printing.
