The members of Gujrati Swetambara Sthanakvasi Jaina Association of Madras, were so enthusiastic to see the book in English, that they became pre-publication customers and gave financial cooperation in this way.
This enthusiasm instigated Dr. Kalghatgi and he accepted happily the burden of English translation. Dr. Kalghatgi is a renowned scholar of Indian philosophy and specially Jainology. He has translated the book in English with full zeal and great effort.
Dr. T. S. Devodoss, Professor, Deptt. of Philosophy, The University of Madras, took great pains to edit the English translation. Honourable Dr. G. R. Damodaran, Vice Chancellor, The University of Madras, has encouraged us by giving 'Foreword' to the book.
Our affectionate companion and renowned literary man Sriyut Srichand Surana 'Saras' took the responsibility of printing of the book with due intimacy.
Dr. Brij Mohan Jain, has very keenly and carefully carried out the tough work of Mss. & proof-revision exerting his full zeal.
We are grateful to all our aforesaid companions for the heartjest co-operation which they have rendered us.
We planned to give the book, three years before, in the hands of the readers; but due to unavoidable circumstances--the difficulty of press, the printing of book become undesirably late. Consequently, our inquisitive readers and financial co-operators have to wait long. We apologise for the inconvenience. But, lastly, we have a satisfaction, that we could give this long awaited precious work in he hands of our readers.
