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 meanings 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. Its editor is his able disciple Uttar Bharatiya Pravartak Shri Amar Muni ji Maharaj. His team includes renowned scholar Shri Srichand Surana as associate editor, Shri Surendra Bothara and Sushravak Shri Raj Kumar Jain, as English translators. 1 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 4 1111 Ehh | परिशिष्ट (576) Appendix 24141414141414141414141454 455 456 455 456 457 458 455 456 457 454545466 96 457 455 456 457 455 456 457 4554 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
