It is said that the responsibility of editing this commentary is to be taken by Ampka and it should be revised and enhanced according to the principles of Dhavala and other authoritative texts. Although it seemed difficult for me to complete this task in my old age, I have been able to complete this arduous task with the blessings of Pujya Acharya Shri and the utmost cooperation of Pujya Vardhaman Sagarji. The main person behind this great sacrifice is Acharya Shri and his auspicious blessings have been my support.
Acharya Kalp Shri Shruta Sagarji's congregation includes Shri 108 Vardhaman Sagarji. You received Muni Diksha from Acharya Shri Dharmasagarji. You are a young Muni and have also received worldly education, therefore you have knowledge of English and mathematics. Your writing is very beautiful. You have been the main person in the reading of this commentary. You are a seeker of knowledge and are constantly engaged in self-study. The feeling of compassion and service is deeply ingrained in you. You have prepared the press copy with hard work and provided invaluable assistance in the printing of the book from beginning to end. I am very grateful to both Muni Rajas, whose blessings and cooperation have made this great work possible.
Although I have edited this book, the original commentary of this book is by Aryika Adimatiji. It is due to her hard work that the new commentary of Gommatasar Karmakanda could be published, therefore the full credit goes to Mataji.
All the arrangements for the publication of the book have been made by Br. Ladumalji of A.K. Shri's congregation. You are old, your health is often unfavorable, yet you have the enthusiasm of young people. You are not a special scholar yourself, yet you have a passion for the spread of Jain teachings, which is why you are particularly interested in publishing translations of texts written by ancient Acharyas in pure Hindi or commentaries on texts. You are constantly engaged in the welfare of the Sadhus, you are a celibate. It is due to your good efforts that the publication of this vast book has been possible in such a short time.
I am also grateful to Shri Nemichandji Bakliwal, the owner of Bakliwal Prints, Madanganj-Kishangarh, and his sons Shri Gulabchand and Bhupendra Kumar, who printed this book very skillfully and promptly. Although the printing of this book seemed difficult due to the large number of references in the present book, you completed the printing with great patience and hard work, therefore, thanks are due. What more can be said to the knowledgeable?
