Preface (ii) “Descriptive Catalogue of Samskrta and Prākṣta Mss. in the library of the B. B. R. A. Society, Vol. III-IV” by Prof. H. D. Velankar, m. A., my friend and once a colleague.
Now it remains for me to acknowledge my indebtedness. It is a pleasure to me to mention that I am highly obliged to Vidvadvallabha Muni Puņyavijayaji, a disciple of Munirāja Sri Caturavijaya and a grand disciple of Pravartaka Šri Kāntivijaya for all the willing assistance rendered to me by his going through a duplicate copy of the page-proofs of the non-English portions of this part. I have to thank Mr. P. K. Gode, M.A., the Curator of the Institute, for the uniform kindness and the courteous treatment I met at his hands during the course of my work on the Jaina Mss. I am also indebted to Dr. V. S. Sukthankar, m. A., Ph.D., the present Hon. Secretary, for his having agreed, in the interest of Jaina scholarship, to publish the Agamika literature in parts and to the Institute for the splendid service it has thus rendered to the cause of Jaina literature.
