Jinendrabuddhi because of his perfect intelleet like that of shri Jinendra deva and he was termed Pujyapāda because his lotus feet were worshipped by gods.
Parampujya Devanandi has been one of the most learned Digambarāchārya of Fifth-Sixth century A.D. His famous works are- (1) Dasha-Bhakti (2) Janmābhiseka (3) Tattavārth-vritti, (4) Jineņdra-Vyākarana, (5) Samādhitantra, (6) Istopadesha.
We consider it our pious duty to express our extreme heart felt gratitude to pujya Āaryikāratna shri Syādvādmati ji without whose Hindi translation and commentary as givon: in "Vimal Bhakti, Prabhodini tika", we could not prepare the English version of all the ten Bhakties.
We also express heart felt gratitude to Smt. Dr. Chandraprabha Jain for assisting us in preparing this manuscript. We also thank for Dr. Mayank Jain who has also helped us a lot in this work.
In the end, we acknowledge the great and kind assistant and co-operation of Ashok Sahajānand (Chief editor : 'SahajAnand'), Kusum Jain (Editor : 'Nānsāyar') and Meghrāj Jain (Manager: Jain Granthāgār), without whose active support, our efforts would not assumed such a fine useful form. .
