Conference, Mumbai in 1931 A.D. and the second part was published from Patiala. But at present, its availability is extremely difficult.
Shri Jnana Muni Ji, the learned disciple of Acharya Samrat Shri Atmaram Ji who is a great scholar of Agamic literature, re-edited the commentary of Acharya Shri by elaborating it further. It has thus become almost a new treatise on Anuyogadvar Sutra. It was published with the caption-Atma Jnana Piyush Varshini Tika. It was edited by Muni Shri Nemichand Ji. It is available in two parts and is an evidence of the profound knowledge of the commentator. This work has been taken as the primary reference book for the present edition.
Anuyogadvar Sutra translated by Shri Kewal Muni under the direction of Yuvacharya Shri Madhukar Muni and revised by Shri Shobha Chand Bharilla, published by Agam Samiti, Beavar, has also been a useful reference work for the text as well as commentary.
The commentary by Acharya Mahaprajna published under the title Anuogadaraim from Jain Vishvabharati, Ladnu has provided valuable references for the commentary
The English translation titled 'Anuogadaraim' translated by Taiken Hanaki was also consulted, specially while finalizing English terminology.
In addition to all these, recently published 'Anuyogadvar Sutram, Churni-Vivritti-Vritti Vibhushitam (Part 1 and 2), corrected and edited by the profound and renowned researcher of Agams and scholar of Agamic knowledge, saint Jambuvijai Ji Maharaj, has been extremely useful in correcting and properly interpreting the original text and studying the original references from commentaries, Churni etc. In order to properly understand the complex portions the associate editor, Srichand Surana 'Saras', personally contacted Muni Ji and sought clarifications. Muni Ji is very devoted to studies of Agams and is a broad-minded scholar. He explained the difficult portions of the text with affection and care. We are highly indebted to him We also express our gratitude to all aforesaid scholars and saints whose laborious and scholarly commentaries and works have been of great help in the editing of this book.
Even after leaving his earthly body, the blessings of my revered Gurudev, Uttar Bharatiya Pravartak Bhandari Shri Padma Chandra Ji Maharaj, have always inspired and directed my activities. To express gratitude to him is my humble duty
