This edition has been prepared by Muni Shri Punyavijayji, the venerable doyen of Prakrit language and literature in India today. He has devoted a whole life-time to the preparation of critical editions of the Agamic texts. His ascetic discipline and rigorous critical faculties have enabled him to cope single-handed with a problem of vast magnitude in the domain of Prakrit text criticism. The Prakrit Text Society has been fortunate to receive his blessings and also the fruits of his lifelong labours in the form of those critical editions which like the Angavijja now being presented will be published by the Society in due course. On behalf of ourselves and our countrymen we offer our most respectful gratitude to Muni Shri Punyavijayji.
