Preface
Acknowledgements
As per notes by agamaprabhākara venerable Shri Punyavijayaji, regarding the text variations in the manuscripts written on palm-leaves of original Nyāyapraveśakavrtti and Panjikā from Jaisalmer, Khambat and Patan, we have edited this work. Therefore, it can be said that he is the original editor of this work. He is also responsible for initiating me into the area of editing through Dvādaśāraṇayacakra. I, therefore, express my deep sense of gratitude to him.
It was an extremely difficult task for us to publish the Bhota translation of Nyāyapraveśakaśāstra in the Bhota script itself. We are highly grateful to our old Japanese friend, Kalyanamitra Dr. Fujinaga Sin for sending us the photocopy of Narthang and Peking editions in the Bhota script from Japan.
We got a xerox copy of the Nyāyapraveśakaśāstra, lying in the library of Shri Roopvijayaji, Dahela (Dosiwada Ki Pol, Ahmedabad-380001) courtesy Acharya Shri Jagatchandrasuriji. I offer him many thanks. There are many textual variations in this ms., which are not available in other mss. .
It is a matter of extreme joy that Shri Shrenikbhai and Shri Piyushbhai, sons of Shri Kiritbhai, did the computer typesetting of this Tibetan translation in the Bhota script themselves with great effort. Therefore, both these brothers deserve our special thanks.
In the printing of this work, Shri Jitendrabhai Manilal Sanghavi and Shri Ashokbhai Bhaichandbhai, also deserve our thanks for their utmost cooperation.
By offering this treatise like flower in the lotus-like hands of my benefactor and venerable father sage Shri Bhuvanavijayaji Maharaja, I consider myself fortunate enough to have worshipped the supreme Lord Jineshvara, through him.
Muni Jambuvijaya
the son and disciple of His Holiness Muniraja Shri Bhuvanavijayaji Maharaja.
