Life and culture and woman with her legitimate place in Society, as reflected in Jaina Narrative Literature, and my tribute to my revered Guru, Acharya Jinavijayaji Muni along with my reminiscences have been dealt with in the articles on them.
The book has also got an article on Satyasaṁhitã which is a Nādigrantha about the predictive part of astrological science. I have presented in it my impartial estimate weighing the pros and cons, of the Sarhitās which bave cropped up like mushroom, these days. I have pointedly drawn the readers attention to the fact that they should be taken at their face value and no more as there are discrepancies, lack of precision, pronouncements of a general nature and an air of superficiality in and around them.
So, this is what the book is and the readers, I hope, will benefit by it.
In conclusion, I cannot adequately express my thanks in words to Shri Dalsukhbhai Malvania, one of the General Editors and to Shri Naginbhai Shah, the Director for taking up this book for publication in the famous L. D. Series.
