The editor laments that in the Jain world, especially among Digambara Jains, there is little interest in literature or its recovery: though the Digambara sect has more literature in Sanskrit, Hindi and Kannada than any other, it has published the least; some leaders oppose publication out of sectarian partisanship or self-interest, many manuscript libraries (śāstra bhaṇḍāra) have stayed closed for years, and others bring out Digambara works with altered colophons, invocations, authors or titles. Logic, philosophy and literature have appeared only in part, medical and astrological works not at all, and Jain physicians and astrologers show no concern for them.

Why it is kept for review: Background to the edition (the state of Jain medical literature).
