This Granthamālā has done signal service to the cause of Jaina literature by bringing to light many unpublished works in Sanskrit and Prakrit. We are grateful to Shriman Shanti Prasadaji and to his enlightened wife Smt. Ramaji for so generously shouldering the responsibility of this Granthamālā. It is both an opportunity and a challenge to all earnest workers in the field of Jaina literature. Many small and big works in Sanskrit, Prakrit, Apabhramsa etc. still lie neglected in old Bhandaras; and we earnestly appeal to our scholars to edit them and present them in a neat form, so that the cultural heritage of our land is properly appreciated. Our thanks are due to Dr. V. M. Kulkarni for his kindly editing this work for our Granthamālā.
