Acknowledgement etc.:-For the critical editing of this work the trustees and myself are indebted to Pujyapās Śrī Ānandsägar Sūri, a monk well-known among the Jaina community for his deep-rooted knowledge of the Jaina dogmas, and a scholar whose interpretation of some of the tersest passages of the āgamas has always remained irrefutable. The fund is lucky that this most revered and most learned ācārya of the community is always ready to guide and help it in any and all maters.
May the readers take the fullest benefit of this labour of love of the editor and publishers by studying the work due reverence, zest and persevearance.
