From the beginning of time, every being in the world is bound by the strong chains of karma. Why, how, by whom, how much, and what kind of relationship does this karma have with the conscious soul? No one has ever been able to fully understand and break free from these bonds. The compassionate Acharya Nemichandra, in order to provide simple understanding of these questions, extracted the Karmakanda text from the षखण्डागम. To overcome the complexities of Prakrit and Sanskrit, the great Pandit Todarmalji translated this text into the Dhundhari language. To further clarify the subject, the learned Aryika 105 Shri Adimati Mataji wrote a commentary on it, which was edited by the expert in Karananuyoga, the late Pandit Ratanchandji Mukhtar of Saharanpur.
The wise scholar Pandit Pannalalji Sahityacharya, from the Jain world, has done commendable work by presenting the essence of this text to society through 300 questions and answers, making it easy to understand the above questions. It is my hope that the benevolent beings who seek self-benefit will make good use of this unique work and make sincere efforts to break free from karma.
