it at our disposal for publication in the Jīvarāja Jaina Granthamala.
As General Editors we record our sincere thanks to the Members of the Trust Committee and Prabandha Samiti for their zeal for Jainological researches and their generosity in financing such publications. which have limited sale. It is earnestly hoped that an exhaustive exposition of the Jaina ethical doctrines like this will enable earnest students of Indian religious thought to understand Jainism in its proper perspective.
We are extremely sorry to record here the sad demise of Shri GULABCHAND HIRACHANDAJI (on 22-1-67) who was the President of the Trust Committee and showed keen interest in the progress of the Granthamālā. The General Editors have lost in him a fund of pious benevolence and enlightened liberalism which went a long way in shaping the policy of our publications. It is a matter of some relief that he is being succeeded as our President by his brother Shri LALCHAND HIRACHANDAJI. Sheth LALCHANDAJI is well-known for his dynamic drive which, we hope, will infuse fresh vigour in the activities of the Sangha. .
We offer our sincere thanks to Shri WALCHAND DEOCHANDAJI and to Shri MANIK CHAND VIRACHANDAJI who are taking active interest in these publications. But for their co-operation and help it would have been difficult for the General Editors to pilot the various publications from a distance.
