Chandra Mani Singh for her note on the Jaina Miniature paintings reproduced in this book. Thanks are also due to Shri Sohan Lal Jain and the staff of Jaipur Printers who took special interest in its printing. Shri Gunwant Mehta of Vakil & Sons Private Limited, Bombay, devoted time and efforts for the printing of the coloured reproductions. Shri Paras Bhansali took special pains in designing the cover and advising us regarding the get-up of this book. Shri Sadashiv Gorakshkar, Director, Prince of Wales Museum, Bombay, approved the paintings. I am obliged to all of them. Sarvashri A. L. Sancheti and Gajsingh Rathore read through the proofs and made useful suggestions. Shri Prakash Bapna and Shri Hari Singh too rendered assistance to us in the project.
