inadequacies of press-conditions, are the factors also to be counted. The misprints, therefore, have crept in the text and they are gathered up in the separate errata which I request the rgader to use before beginning the text.
I take opportunity here to thank Maharāja Shri Puạyavijayji and the Bhāvangar Jain Sabha who arranged for the Mss. and also the publishers of this work who all along helped me in supplying almost all the works of reference.
