________________ xxiv entry "ācāra' in the forthcoming Encyclopeadia of Jainism. We do not want to give a summary of the chapters here, as they themselves are brief accounts of topics they deal with. We should like to inform the readers that the texts quoted in chapters X and XI are mainly based on the critical editions published by Dr. L. Alsdorf, W. Schubring, and Yuvācārya Mahāprajña. We are sincerely grateful to these great scholars of Prakrit and Jainology whose contributions to the subject would ever remain valuable. We should also express our thanks to Shri R.K. Jain of Today and Tomorrow's Printers and Publishers, New Delhi, who so kindly undertook the publication. Our thanks are also due to Shri RS. Soni for his kind cooperation in the arduous work of correcting the proofs and seeing the publication through the press. We thank Dr. S.C. Jain for preparing the bibliography and the indexes giving full particulars and thereby enhancing their utility. Our thanks are also due to the sisters of the post-graduate department of the Jaina Vishva Bharati, Ladnun (Rajasthan), namely Kusum, Savita, Usha, Chetana, Subhash and Jayavanti for their co-operation in writing some of the chapters.
