Preface VI-VII. Prācina Jaina lekha-sangraha ( pts. I-II ) collected and compiled by Jinavijayaji.
VIII Arbuda pràcina Jaina lekha-sandoha i. e. Abu ( pt. Il ) collected and compiled by Jayantavijayají.
IX Arbudücala pradaksina Jaina-lekha-sandoha i. e. Abu (pt. V) collected and compiled by Jayantavijayaji. It contains nine appendices. . X Jaina šila-lekha-sangraha (Part I) collected and compiled by Prof. Hiralal Jain. This part deals with Jaina inscriptions pertaining to Śrāvaņa belgolā and its adjoining places. So the list of place-names given here is not useful for this Vol. XVII. All the same I note it here as it may be of some use for the subsequent volumes: In this part we have two indexes. Of them the first records names of Jaina monks and nuns, poets, schools and sub-schools and works. The rest of the proper names including those of places, kings and castes are noted Index II. Part II has only one index of proper names of various kinds.
In this connection I may mention that the following books pertaining to the itineries of the Jaina clergy of the modern age supply us with names of geographical places with some details about them :
(1) fagita ( Part I) (in Gujaräti ) edited by Muni Jñānavijayaji and published as No. 5 in “Chäritra Series" in Vikrama Samvat 1981.
(2) jagtrauia ( in Gujarāti ) edited by Muni. Jayantavijayaji and published by “Yaśovijaya Jaina Granthamālā ", Bhavnagar, in Vikrama Samvat 1982. .
(3) fùerrieresta ( Part 1) (in Hindi ) edited by Muni Priyankaravijayaji and published by Somachand Jesingdas, Mhesana, in Vikrama Samvat 1992.
This Appendix VII differs from the preceding six appendices inasmuch as there is an entry about lines in addition to that of pages. It facilitates the work of reference. Further, it serves a useful purpose'; for a name occurring more than once on one and the same page gets_recorded.
