The ancient writer Kunda-kunda is regarded as one of the greatest Jaina teachers (acarya) of all time. He is famous for writing essential works called sara, "essence"; e.g., the Pancastikaya-sara, the Samaya-sara, and the Pravacana-sara. His Pravacana-sara, "Essence of the Scripture orDoctrine," summarizes the doctrines of the early Jaina scriptures. Like many Indian philosophical writings, it consists of relatively brief verses, requiring a commentary to be fully understood. This book includes a complete translation of the commentary by Amrtacandra Suri, one of the only suchcommentaries yet translated into English. This is a fundamental work for studies on Jainism.Amrtacandra Suri is the author of 'The Pravacana-sara of Kunda-kunda With the Commentary Tattva-dipika', published 2006 under ISBN 9780895819840 and ISBN 0895819848.
