inadequacies of press-conditions, are the factors also to be counted. The misprints, therefore, have crept in the text and they are gathered up in the separate errata which I request. the reader to use before beginning the text.
I take opportunity here to thank Maharāja Shri Punyavijayji and the Bhavangar Jain Sabha who arranged for the Mss. and also the publishers of this work who all along helped me in supplying almost all the works of reference.
Besides, my acknowledgements are due to Prof. Barnett whose invaluable translation of both these scriptures has been of much use to me particularly in the expressions of the translation.
