________________
PREFACE. (To the Second Edition.)
The very name of the SHASTRA-MALA clears our aim. We think that a succinct summary of Jaina Metaphysics and Logic in English, as that of Mr. H. L. Jhaveri deserves a wide circulation. We now, therefore, with the kind permission of Mr. Jhaveri, place the Second Edition of his First Principles of the Jaina Philosophy, before the public. We do not dare to praise this little book at this stage any more, as so many western scholars have already spoken about its usefulness. If this publication renders any service to the students of the Jaina Philosophy, our attempt will have become fruitful.
