as far as 99 and these sections are again sub divided into several other decimal points for easy references. Each decimal point is arranged in accordance with the subject matter connected with the life and teachings of Lord Mahavira. The table of contents of this work will tell us how to use this Cyclopaedia. All the facts of Mahavira's life are authenticated by quotations from over 100 books followed by Hindi translations. These quotations are necessary for making this volume useful. This unique feature of the book shows the critical outlook & deep scholarship of the editors. The project of this research work indicates that there could be some two or more volumes of this Vardhaman-Jivan.Kosa The Jain Darshan Samiti is to be heartily congratulated for undertaking such a laborious and tedious project on Jainism
This Cyclopadia of Vardhamana will be very useful for the sourcematerial on the life and story of Lord Mahavira. As the editor has ransacked both the Svetambara and Digambara sourcebooks, this volume is free from all sorts of parochial outlook. I hope, this book must be in the library of every learned scholar.
