PREFACE
The L D. Institute of Indology has great pleasure in publishing the present volume contalning ten Jaina philosophical tracts hitherto unpub. lished. All these Sanskrit tracts written in Medieval Age show that the writers who were Jaina monks reacted in their own way to the current philosopbical views. Looking to the nature of these tracts we feel that they have been written mainly for the beginners It was customary for the Jaipa authors to assist their pupils by producing help-books [pspite of this these tracts reveal 10sight into the philosophical problems
I ani thankful to Dr Nagin J. Shah for editing these tracts and writing an informative introduction. He has given, in the introduction, a succinct account of the authors and their works ; moreover, he has summarised the tracts one by one.
- I am sure the students and scholars interested in the subject of Indian Philosophy will find this book useful
