from the Jaina Sources, supplemented by the Hindu and Buddhistic Many scholars and persons interested in educational activities were present when the lectures were delivered and took part in the deliberations Distinguished scholars viz, Dr D R Bhandarkar, Dr S N Das Gupta, Dr B M Batua, Di M N Sircar, Dr Sunıtı Kumar Chatterji, MM Prof Vidhusekhaia Śāstrī, Dr Satkarı Mookerji, and others presided over the lectures
The book is shorter than it should have been, because of the scarcity and uncertain supply of paper, due to war conditions, and the discrepancy of the paper used is also due to the same factor A few printing errors have crept in as it had to be hurriedly run through the Press Now on the behalf of the Bharatī Mahāvidyalaya we offer our hearty thanks to the author for his indefatiguable labour and painstaking researches into an almost new field of work
Last of all we must place on 1ecord our sense of immense obligation to Mr Shanti Prasad Jain for his kind pationage accorded to this cause Our hearty thanks are also due to Mr Chhotelal Jain, the Secretary of the Jaina Committee of the Bhārati Mahavidyalaya for his active co-operation.
We may in this connection be permitted also to appeal to other wealthy members of the Jaina as well as other communities for encouraging the cause of propagation, preservation and publication of India's religious and cultural heritage as embodied in the various sacred and other Literatures of this Holy Land, in the manner, Mr Shanti Prasad Jam, who has set an example in the direction, has been doing
It is confidently hoped that all readers interested in the subject particularly those belonging to the Jaina community should accord to the book the welcome it deserves
Satis Chandra Sea!
