PUBLISHER'S NOTE One of the Objects of Jwalamalini Trust is to reprint already published but not readily available important and ancient works on general philosophy.
With this objective we are bringing out this book "RELAITY" which is an english translation of the SRI PUJYAPADA'S sanskrit work "SARVARTHA SIDDHI" a commentary on TATTVARTHA SUTRA of Sri Uma Swami, by Prof S.A. Jain, as our first publication. We are happy that we are able to reprint the First edition of this book as our First Publication.
The first edition of this work was published under the able supervision and proof correction of the author, Prof. S.A. Jain. The merit, greatness and the practical utility of this work are well understood by the opinions and forword given in the first edition which was published by VIRA SASANA SANGHA of Calcutta in the year 1960. We pay our homage to Prof. S.A. Jain who never claimed, like our ancient Jaina Seers, any-copy write for this work which took him 15 years to prepare the manuscript.
His Holiness Karmayogi Chanukeerthy Swamiji of Sri Jain Mutt, Shravanabelagola praised our noble task and blessed us with a SYNOPSIS and a GLOSSARY of technical terms. The contribution of His Holiness has enhanced the value of this edition
His Holiness SRI LAKSHMISENA SWAMIGAL of Jinakanchi Jain Mutt, at Melsithamoor (Tamil Nadu) has also blessed us with his thought provoking and lucid Asirvad Patra. With Obcisance we salute and thank their Holiness.
Sastra Dhana is one of the important Samskaras of a Jaina householder. When we undertook this difficult but meritorious task of reprinting Prof. S.A. Jain's 'REALITY' many sravaks came forward and encouraged the Trust by contributing liberally. But
