Sheth Devchand Lalbhai Jain Pustakoddhar Fund Series. No. 18. PREFACE.
Autor
This is the 18th Vol. of our series and comprises two books, one Kalpa Sutra, and the other Yuga Pradhan Kalikacharya Katha.
The subject matter of this volume was written by Shree Bhadra Bâhu Swami, Sixth in descent from Lord Mahavir, as the Eighth chapter of "Shree Dasha Shruta Skandha Sutra." It is generally known as Kalpa Sutra.
This being a well-known work we do not think it necessary to say much about it, except that it was once customary with the Sadhus or the Jain Monks to read it before an assembly of Sadhus only. Later this custom has been altered in the year 510 Vikrama Era, and it is now read by the Sadhus before the laymen also.
