It was way back in 1969 that we acquired the photocopy of the Lalavart-sara from the Rajasthan Oriental Research Institute, Jodhpur, with a view to edit it for the Institute's Research Series, Because of several other works on hand, the editing work could not be started for a few years. It was in 1972 that we began to prepare the press-copy of the text, and working intermittently, we could complete it by the beginning of 1975. Further work on the Lilavatt sara was held up because other pressing tasks intervened Arrangements were made at that time to publish the work in the LD Research Series. The printing of the text was completed by 1980, but the work on the introduction etc. could not be taken up till 1982. We feel greatly relieved by being able at long last to complete an unduly prolonged task. There is also some satisfaction that in this way we could accomplish something that late Muni Jinavijayaji would have wished, because the Lilavan sara was also in the list of important works he wanted eventually to get edited and published.
There remains for us the very pleasant duty of expressing our sente of gratitude towards the individuals and institutions that have been helpful to us in one way or another in the present undertaking.
Rajasthan Oriental Research Institute kindly loaned the photostat and gave permission to publish the work. L.D. Institute of Indology not only accepted the work for publication in its distinguished Series, but also generously extended the time-limit for completing the work. Pandit Dalsukh Malvania and Dr. Nagin Shah have provided all requisite fecility for gtting the work properly printed and published. Swati printing press. Aditva Mudranlaya and Tirhut Printers have given all necessary co-operation in the printing of the work. We express our sincere thanks to all of them.
Our special thanks are due to Dr N.M. Kansara, who gave his valuable assistance in transcribing the text from the photo-copy, in settling the interpretation of a few doubtful passages, and in preparing the summary of the work.
