Dharmavīrjī's devotion

The editor recounts how Seṭh Rāvjī Sakhārām Dośī had the first copy made, encouraged the editing, helped found the Kalyāṇa press named after the work, gathered materials and funds, and wished to launch the book at a medical conference on Jain Ayurveda; on the day before his death he asked whether the medicine glossary was ready. He then explains that publication was delayed by faulty manuscripts, the slow revision of the press copy, the preparation of the multilingual glossary and the very corrupt last section.
