Illustrated Aupapatik Sutra Price Rs. 500/This the first Upanga. This contains lucid and poetic description of numerous topics including King Kunik's preparations to go to pay homage to Bhagavan Mahavir, Bhagavan's sermon and establishment of the religious order. This also contains the description of austerities observed by Ambad and many other Parivrajaks. Illustrated Raipaseniya Sutra Price Rs. 500/This is the third Upanga. It provides an interesting and edifying reading of the discussions between Acharya Keshi Kumar Shraman and the antireligious king Pradeshi on topics like soul, next life, and rebirth. This dialogue turned him into a great religionist. The illustrations of the examples showing the difference between soul and body are also instructive. 13. Illustrated Kalpa Sutra Price Rs. 500/Kalpa Sutra is widely read and recited during the Paryushan festival. It contains stories of life of 24 Tirthankars with more details about Bhagavan Mahavir's life. It also contains the disciple lineage of Bhagavan Mahavir and detailed ascetic praxis. The illustrations connected with the 24 Tirthankars add to its attraction as well as utility. Thus till date 18 Agams and Kalpa Sutra have been published in 17 41 books. The English translation makes it possible for those with passing knowledge of Prakrit and Hind to understand the content of Jain Agams including the religious practices as prevalent in ancient times. Also included in some of these editions are glossaries of Jain terms with their mea iings in English. Due to its demand by libraries, Jnana Bhandars, ascetics and lay readers this unique series may soon go out of print. The publication of this Agam series has been inspired by Uttar Bharatiya Pravartak Gurudev Bhandari Shri Padmachandra ji M. S. Its editor is his able disciple Uttar Bharatiya Pravartak Shri Amar Muni ji Maharaj. His team includes renowned scholar Shri Shrichand Surana as associate editor, Shri Surendra Bothara and Sushravak Shri Raj Kumar Jain, as English translators. 4455454545454 455 456 457 45454545454 455 456 457 47 46 451 41 41 45 45 451 41 41 41 41 41 414 455 456 co 451 455 456 457 455 456 457 451 4 परिशिष्ट (608) Appendix 如听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听。 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
