Dr. H. L. Jain left the post of Directorship. I express my gratefulness to all those Scholars, Profeessor, Institutes and Jain munis who extended their help to me whenever I approached them in connection with my research work. I acknowledge my debt of gratitude to the Government of Bihar for awarding me a Research Scholarship.
