Modern scholars, down to the present day, have not evinced as much interest in the study of the Jaina literature—particularly the Āgamas—as they have in the study of its Vedic and Buddhist counterparts. There are many reasons for the neglect of the study of the Āgamas. One of them is the absence of a good edition of these texts. The Jaina Āgamas are a living literature. They have been edited and published by a number of religious personalities. But there exists not a single edition which contains all the Āgamas which is handy and which is such as can easily be used by modern scholars. Stray attempts have been made in this direction but the task has not been carried out in a sys
ematic manner with a determinate plan in view. Indeed the critical edition of all the Agamas was a long-felt need.
For the publication of the Jaina Āgamas, many individuals and many institutes have made attempts during all these years. In 1848 Stevenson published for the first time an English translation of the Kalpasūtra; but the translation was not up to the mark. Really speaking, Prof. Weber deserves to be called the pioneer in the field of the Āgama publication. In 1865–66 he edited some portions of the Bhagavatīsūtra and appended notes that embody the important results of his study of the same.
