Jai Jinendra'
जय वीयराय! जयगुरू! होउ मम तुह पभावओ भयवं ! | भवणिब्बेओ angentee इट्ठफलसिद्धी ॥६॥
Jaya viyaraya! jayaguru! Hou mama tuha pabhāvao bhayavam!
Bhavanivveo maggāṇusāriyā iṛṇṭhaphalasiddhi.
Oh the Conqueror of all attachments Oh, the world teacher Oh the blessed one through your grace may I develop detachment to the mundane world, continue to follow the path of Salvation and attain fulfilment

Eternal source of the divine spiritual teachings has finally become available in comprehensive format This monumental work is a culmination of exhaustive knowledge and years of untiring dedication of Shri Jinendra Varniji The invaluable contribution of hundreds of Jain Sadhus, and Sadhviji has made it possible for this unique reference work to come to reality This unprecedented spiritual work was the result of the inspiration of Shri Vinobaji, who is revered as much as Shri Mahatma Gandhi, all over India,
I feel extremely fortunate for being instrumental in bringing SAMAN SUTTAM to the Jain community of North America. The publication of approximately 8000 copies was made possible by the generous support of all the donors, the Board of Trustees and fund raising committee(1995) of the Jain Society of Greater Detroit and countless other individuals feel it is appropriate to express my special gratitude to Shri Jagat Jain who first envisioned this project for North America
Jain Education International
I sincerely hope this compendium of inspirational spiritual scriptures will help our present as well as future generations immensely The publication of "Saman Suttam" could not have been more timely but to coincide with the initiation of our long awaited temple project in Farmington Hills, Michigan
I take this opportunity to request participation of the Jain community of North America in this worthy cause which is destined to guide the lives of our children as per the holy scriptures of Jainism perpetuated over the millenniums by our Thirthankars.
