Something about This Publication o
We have already published 45 Aagams in Four languages Prakrut, Sanskrut (Satik), Hindi and Gujarati. Now a day for new generation & abroad living people, English translation has become a necessity. So we have planned to translate or compile Jain-Aagam in English. We gave priority to 'Nandi Sootra'.
After that we have worked for 'Niryaavalika panchak'. Thus six Aagam have been completed. It is said that Nirayaavalikaadi five Aagams are respectly Upang of Upaasakdasa aadi five ANG-Sootra. So we thaught to compile these Angsootra and as aresult of that, Vipakshrut is compiled; now we are going to present Ang sootra-9 'Anuttaropapaatikdasha' before you. During this translation of these two Ang-sootra one Prakirnak named 'VEERSTAVA' is also translated in to English.
ANUTTAROPAPAATIKDASHA is an "Ang-Pavitth" Aagam, Nandi Sootra, Suyagadang Sootra etc. Narrates 'Anuttaropapaatik sootra' as an ninth Ang-Sootra of Aagam. AbhaydevSuri has written Vrutti [commentary on this sootr.
Here, we have compiled Translation done by Surendra Bothara, which is originally edited in to Hindi by Shree Amar-Muni & Shree Chandra Surana, We have two motives for publishing this book. [1] To provide Aagam literature in English & [2] It should be given in Microsoft Word format so people can do Cut, Paste & Editing by themselves also.
At present this Book is published as a Net-Publication with the help of the Jain Education International organization of America. In future we may publish it as a Book also. We are also planning to put more Aagams in English before you.
We also invite learned persons to translate more & more 'authentic Jain literature in English for kids and youths, so the ignorant people of regional languages can also read or learn our "Shashtra & Granth".
We are very much thankful to Shree Pravinbhai, Sudeshbhai, Late Mr. Krupal Shah and all other known-unknown persons who helpd us for this project directly or indirectly.
