For the editing of this Agama major amount of credit goes to my learned disciple Muni Shri Nath Mali. Day in and day out he has devoted himself to this arduous task. It is because of his concentrated efforts that the work has got such a nice accomplishment. Otherwise, it would not have been an easy job. On account of his in-born Yogic temperament he was capable of attaining that concentration of mind which was essential for achieving the end. On account of his constant devotion to the work of research in the field of Agamic literature his intellect has achieved sufficient sharpness in finding out immediately the hidden meaning and mysteries of Agamic expositions. His keen sense of obedience, perseverance and absolute dedication have contributed much in developing his personality. The above qualities are seen in him since his early age. Right from the time when he joined the Sangha I have been an observor of these qualities of his, which have. so developed. His capacity to undertake to a big task has given me ever increasing satisfaction.
I have undertaken this hard and tremendous task of editing the Agamas relying on the strength of such learned disciples in the Sangha. I am now, quite confident that I shall be able to complete this hazardous work with. the help and assistance of my obedient, selfless and devout disciples.
On the holy occasion of this 25th centinary of Lord Mahavira, I have a feeling of great pleasure in presenting to the people the teachings of the Lord.
