: The total number of all the sūtras is 4685. Out of these, 3566 sūtras deal with the Sanskrta language and 1119 sūtras deal with Prākrta languages.
The present edition contains only first seven Adhyāys which deal with the Sanskrta language.
Acārya Hemacandra wrote a big commentary on eight Adhyāyas which is called the BỊhadvștti. He had also written a small commentary called Laghuvrtti. This present edition cantains the Laghuvịtti.
This critical edition is based on nearly 24 Palm-Leaf Mss, the description of which has been given by us in Gujārati and Sanskrta introductions.
In editing this work I am very much helped by my disciple Muni Dharmacandravijaya and his disciple Muni Puņdarikaratnavijaya.
Sadhvi Jinendraprabhasri who is the grand disciple of my revered mother Sadhvi Manoharaśriji, has helped me in various ways.
Mr. Mayūra the son of V.T. Shah of Patana has carried out all the computer composition work.
This is the fruit of the labour of all these that this work has been brought out. I am highly grateful to all these. ZINZUWĀDA
