The General Editor feels grateful to our President Shriman Lalchand Hirachanda for his enlightened guidance in all our deliberations. Heavier responsibilites have devolved on the broad shoulders of Shriman Walchand Deochanda who is helping this Granthamälä in every way for its progress. It is his devotion to the teachings of Mahavira that enabled him to bring out this publication.
It is very kind of Professor Dr. Kamaji Upadhyaya, Sagar University, Sagar, to have graced this edition with a Foreword. My sincere thanks to him.
Our thanks are due to Pt. Pannalal Sähityāchārya who kindly edited this work along with Introduction in Hindi and Hindi translation. Thanks are due to Shri Babulal Phagulla, Mahavira Press, Varanasi, for his cooperation in publishing this work.
