The greatest significance of this volume lies in the fact that it brought into light 700 years of Jain history - from 1001 to 1700 V.N. regarding which the research scholars, writers and erudite scholars expressed their inability to detail and remarked, “It is a dark age in Jain history, which disappeared in the abyss of oblivion.” We are fortunate enough to lay our hands on related information and are passing the same onto our readers. As a result out of the 700 years of that Dark Age, nearly 850 pages were used only to describe 475 years of history. Hence we ventured to present the history of remaining 225 years in this fourth volume.
In this fourth part of our historical series we tried to bring out the historical events that took place during those 225 years.
