ble help. I am deeply indebted to Dr. I, C. Shastri, Ex-Head of the Department of Sanskrit, Institute of Post-Graduate Studies, University of Delhi, who has been extremely generous to me from the day I joined this University as a Ph.D. student till today. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the achievement of this design would have been extremely difficult without his kind and sincere help.
I express my heart-felt gratitude to such eminent scholars of Ahmedabad as Prof. Dalsukhbhai Malvania who has been kind enough to go through the entire work and give me valuable suggestions, the Late Pt, Sukhalalji for his priceless suggestions and discussions, and the Late Pt. Bechardas Doshi with whom even leisure time discussions proved fruitful. I am also thankful to eminent scholars like Prof. N. Dutt and Prof. S. Dutt whom I could not get a chance to see personally, but their works have helped me in studying the subject systematically. I would be failing to fulfil my duties if I do not acknowledge the profound help I received from libraries and other educational institutions, specially I must mention of Shri Mahavir Jaina Public Library which was at my disposal for all Jaina literature.
I am very grateful to Dr. Sagarmal Jain, Director, Parshvanath Vidyashram Research Institute, Varanasi, who took keen interest in brining out the book. I also express my thanks to my brother Shri Kranti Kumar Jain, Shri B. N. Jain and Shri Gulab Chandji Jain, without whose help and inspiration this work would not have seen the light of the day.
I also owe a great deal to all my friends and companions who helped me in one way or the other in producing this work.
