BOOK REVIEW
but !ha is a different sound used in Vedic and Pali. Moreover, some of the transliterations are different for some exotic languages. But I believe that in order to avoid some chaos and catastrophies, and in order to maintain a standard, some sorts of direction for transliteration are necessary.
In conclusion, I can say that this Journal is a prestigious one and will earn name and fame on its own merits. It will be a good harbinger of the coming 21st century.

Anuyogadvāra sūtram (Part I): the text originally edited by His Holiness Muniraja Punyavijayaji Mahārāja with three commentaries Jinadāsa Gaņi Mahattara's Curni, Haribhadra Suri's Vivṛti and Maladhari Hemacandra Suri's Vṛtti is critically edited by Muni Jambūvijaya, disciple of His Holiness Munirāja Shri Bhuvanavijayaji Mahārāja, Jaina-Agama-Series No. 18(1), Shri Mahāvīra Jaina Vidyalaya, Bombay, 400 036, pp. 517, 1999; Price Rs. 450.00.
Though there are many editions of the Anuyogadvāra-sūtra, this above mentioned edition edited by Muni Jambūvijayaji Mahārāja has surpassed all the earlier editions in the principles of editing and printing.

Though all these commentaries were already published, the editor has consulted some new manuscripts for this edition. It has a long introduction in Gujarati. It has also five appendixes. The text is divided into sections.
The readings of the text are done conscientiously and hence can be more dependable than the other editions. But some readings, such as, tamjahā, could have been avoided. tamjaha in Prakrit is to be printed separately as tam jahā, because it is not a compound word, even though its Sanskrit equivalent tadyatha is printed jointly. About the selection of the cerebral n, the uniformity could not be maintained; e.g; in § 15(5) the reading tinham saddanayanam, the dental n in saddanayais to be changed into cerebral n as saddanayānam as the reading with cerebral n is also found in the commentaries of Jinadāsa Gani's Cūmi and Haribhadra's Vivṛtti,even though in Maladhāri Hemacandra's vṛtti,
