When the text was given to the press and the text editor felt the need for a printed edition of the Mṛl Jayadhavala for the purpose of revising his translation, Shri 108 A. Shanti Sagar Jinavani Jirnoddharak Sanstha's minister, Shri Seth Valachandra Devchand Shah V.A. Bombay, gave his consent and Shri P. Sumeruchandraji Divakar Sivni, the editor-in-chief, provided a copy, thus assisting in the decision and revision of the translation of the Churnisutra. We are also grateful to you for this.
When I went to Moodbidri two years ago to take photographs of the Siddhanta texts, the Swami of the religious institution there, Shri 108 Bhattarak Charukirtiji Maharaj, and the trustees of the Siddhanta-Vasatimandara, Shri Dharmasthalji Hagde, Shri M. Dharmasamrajaji Mangalore, Shri K.V. Jinrajji Hagde, Shri D. Puttaswami, editor of the Kannada newspaper Vivekabhyudaya Mysore, Shri Devarajji M.A. LL.B. Advocate, Shri Dharmpalji Setti Moodbidri and Shri Padmaraj Setti, not only granted permission to take photographs, but also provided all kinds of accommodation and arrangements. Shri P. Bhujavaliji Shastri, Shri S. Chandrarajendraji Shastri and Shri P. Nagaraj Shastri provided ample assistance. When the present text was printed, and the need was felt to compare it with the palm leaf manuscript of Jayadhavala for the purpose of deciding some doubtful Churnisutra, the printed form of the text was sent to Shri Chandrarajendraji Shastri in Moodbidri, and he, with great promptness and care, sent the text of the palm leaf manuscript for all the doubtful places. He also sent some specific information about the punctuation marks indicating the beginning and end of the sutras in the original manuscript. We thank him especially for this invaluable service.
Finally, I consider it necessary to clarify that the publications of the Shri Virshasan Sangh are made only from the point of view of publication and propagation, and therefore, no profit is kept in the offering. Shravan Krishna Pratipada V.S. 2012.
