**Publication Statement**
The revered Acharya Shantisagarji Maharaj entrusted us with the task of serving and spreading the teachings of Jinvani Mata. We have been diligently fulfilling this responsibility to the best of our abilities. As per Acharya Maharaj's directive, we are constantly striving to publish high-quality principle texts. This publication of the significant principle text, Patkhandagam, is a beautiful outcome of our efforts and is now reaching the hands of readers. Only the studious will be able to determine our level of success, but we believe that this publication stands out amongst our previous works.
After the three principle texts were engraved on copper plates, Acharya Maharaj expressed his desire to publish their original texts along with Hindi translations. Accordingly, he entrusted the task of completing the first principle text, Shatkhandagam, to Bal Br. Shri. Sumatibaiji Nyaya-Kavya Tirth, daughter of Shri. Nemchand Devchand Shah, Solapur, and the director of Shri Ra. Di. Jain Shravakashram, Solapur. We are immensely delighted that the fulfillment of this task marks the completion of Acharya Maharaj's aforementioned wish.
Shri. Seth Hirachand Talakchandji, Baramati, has generously provided financial assistance of 4001 for the publication of this text. We are deeply grateful for his support. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the scholars and institutions who have contributed to the editing and publication of this text.
