Exposition Of Pratikramana Stotras

viMy profound gratitude to my friend Dr.Vimal Prakash Jain, retiredprofessor of Jaina Literature of University of Jabalpur at Jabalpur ,Madhya Pradesh India for editing the manuscript and offeringmany valuable suggestions and comments.I am thankful to my niece and nephew Jyotsna and Sudhir Shah forencouragement and support whenever I needed and my friendPranay Jain for showing lot of patient and help in preparing thismanuscript ready for printing.I am also very thankful to my friend Satish Shah for many valuablesuggestions and comments.The stotras and the prayers of Pratikramana are not easy totranslate as many times there are no equivalent words in English.But I have tried my best to keep the translation as true to thecontext as possible. In view of this if I have unknowinglymisinterpreted the meaning I ask for the forgiveness of the readersand if they have right suggestion to let me know which I caninclude in any future editions (micchami dukkadam).Rati Dodhia12 Mitris Blvd.Lincoln RI 02865, USA
