immaculate and scholarly commentaries and works have been of great help in the editing of this book.
In the editing of this Sutra, Srichand Surana 'Saras' has put in admirable efforts and strenuous work. For the English translation Shri Surendra Bothra has made a commendable contribution with all the knowledge and experience he has gained through translating many of the Agams published in this series. A great care has been taken to find appropriate words and terminology for the technical terms in English language. However, as it is still an evolving field forbearance of readers is solicited for any mistake and misinterpretation. Shri Raj Kumar Jain, a devoted shravak well versed with Agams and having a command over English language, has provided valuable services in the form of editorial and translation advise by going through the final proofs of the book. It took hard and continuous efforts lasting over a period of two years to complete this translation and commentary in Hindi and English. Still in case, at any place something has been mentioned against the purport of the scripture or not in line with the tradition, I sincerely feel and convey‘Micchami dukkadam' (May my misdeeds be undone). I also request the scholarly readers to oblige us with their advice and suggestions.
To prepare illustrations concerning Anuyoga was also difficult as compared to illustrating other Agams. In order to properly elucidate the subject with examples, some of them have been selected from commentaries (Tika and Bhashya) and translations of this as well as other Shaastras and others from commonly used popular analogies. This should help the reader and the listener properly understand the underlying idea of the Sutra. Still in case any example is found unsuitable or improper, the experts in the field may kindly send their suggestions to us.
I once again express my heartfelt gratitude for all those who have contributed towards the publication of this work.
