PREFACE
(Second Edition) I am really glad to see that the Second Edition of Jain Theism is coming out. It is mainly because quite a few groups and a lot of people at USA who are the followers and are interested in Jainism have liked this look. It will not be wrong to say that the second edition comes for such people associated with Jain Study Center of North Carolina, and Jain Academic Foundation of North America. I am very much thankful to Mr. Pravin Shah of Jain Study Center, U S A, for showing deep interest in bringing out this second edition.
While pubblishing the Second edition. a detailed table of contents, list of abbrevation and a few corrections have been incorporated. The second edition has been transformed to U.S. Spellings as it is requested by the Jain Study groups of USA. I am sure the second edition, with of course no change in the text, will be of great help to all who are interested in Jain Philosophy,
