The first line is occupied by the great luminaries. The supreme mystery of the Hudshan, the renowned "Shatudana-vetta" Haribhadrasuri, who has sensed it, has shown a new direction of the Gamamarg, which challenges all doctrines and philosophies and harmonizes all philosophies with the "Shatu Darshan Jin Ang Bhanje". In his vast, ocean-like expanse, he has embraced all with ease, offering a supremely profound and generous "divine vision". This Tatvadrashta Gacharya has invited all philosophers to a universal, vast platform with love, bringing them together in a spirit of equality and brotherhood. He has condemned the false quarrels that are carried out in the name of religion with prejudice, and has connected the Gidh Dharma, which is imbued with the unique spirit of world brotherhood, to the eternal Atma Dharma. The discerning reader will be amazed to see how this divine visionary developed the noble spirit of equality towards all philosophies, devoid of attachment and aversion, on the philosophical platform twelve years ago! And this is the main characteristic among the many unique features of this gem of a book.
In the auspicious moment of the year 1943, I was fortunate enough to come across this excellent book. While studying it, I spontaneously felt the urge to write a detailed commentary on this true scripture. Therefore, I have decided to undertake this project to give concrete form to this inner inspiration to write a detailed commentary that would enhance the essence and glory of this scripture: (1) The original text in the Gujarati form of poetic translation. (2) The literal meaning for the people. (3) A literal translation of Sri Haribhadrasuriji's Paz Vritti in the footnotes. (4) A continuous and detailed commentary that encompasses and enriches the essence of the text and the Vritti (called "Sumanandani Bahutika"). (5) A new creation of Kalashka, which is the essence and support of each chapter in each chapter. - Thus, I have set a five-pronged plan and have been actively engaged in this sacred activity according to the above plan. With full enthusiasm, I have been moving forward, sometimes at a fast pace and sometimes at a slow pace, and I completed this work of commentary at the end of 1945. I am delighted to place this book in the hands of the discerning, intellectual, and philosophical readers. If any success is evident in this humble effort, which has been undertaken with a pure heart, it is solely due to the grace of the knowledgeable, virtuous men, without whose powerful support of the nectar of their words, this effort would have been like a cripple's attempt to reach the fruit, which is beyond his reach!
I have given some direction to the subject matter of this book in the introduction. Its detailed explanation in the form of a tree is discussed in the respective chapters of the vision. For guidance, there is no space here. * The knowledge of the ignorant is like a boat without a rudder. | The audience, therefore, should be aware of this.
