FOREWORD
We have great pleasure in publishing the critical editions of the two works of Sri Yasasvatsagara viz. Syadvādamuktāvali (also known as Jaina viśeşatarka) and Bhāvasaptatikā prepared by Prof. S. A. Upadhyaya of the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan's Post-Graduate and Research Institute. The first work deals with the Syādvāda and the two Pramāņas viz. the Pratyakṣa and the Anumana. The second work deals with a few topics of Jyotișa like divasalagna, ayanaṁśakarana. ratrilagnasadhana, natonnatasadhana, daśamabhävasadhana and vimsopaka. Both these works are critically edited and published for the first time, and we hope that they will prove useful in assessing the literary merits of the well-known Jain author Sri Yaśasvatsāgara.
