The Humble Prayer at the End
I wish to conclude this lengthy preface with the following prayer:
* May the intrinsic power of the inner self inspire three of us to discover the new horizons of Jaina Studies in future.
* Let me give rest to my pen with the mixed feelings of immense gratitude and tranquilizing satisfaction but at the same time the unquenching thirst for knowledge.
The last two papers are included after writting the preface.
