PREFACE
We have great pleasure in publishing the third and final part of Ratnākarāvatārikā. At tbe end of this part various indices are added. The introduction written in Gujarati by the editor deals with the Jaina logic and gives an account of the life and works of the authors-viz.
Āc. Vadidevasūri, Āc. Ratnaprabha, Ac. Rājasekhara and Muni Jžāna.candra. We hope that this work will be very useful in enhancing the understanding of Jaina logic in particular and Indian logic in general.
I am grateful to Pt. Bechardasji Dosbi for completing the printing of this work during my absence, to Pt. Ambalal P. Shah for correcting proofs, to Pt. Rupendrakumara for preparing indices. Munirāj Shri Malayavijayaji deserves our hearty thanks for translating Ratnākarāvatārikā into Gujarati.
