Modesty, perseverance and complete dedication to the guru have contributed to the development of these merits in him. Such merits were inherent in him since childhood.

Many other mo: ks also contributed towards the editing of the text of these canons 1 bless them all with the wish that their working capacity may be all the more developed.
