Karma is described in great detail in Jainism. A very subtle and profound examination of karma is found in the Jain Agamas and subsequent texts. It is written in Prakrit and Sanskrit, making it accessible but difficult for the average seeker to understand. Ancient Acharyas have described the various forms of karma theory in brief, which proves to be a good source of knowledge for the average seeker of truth when memorized. The Karmagranth holds an important place in the ancient texts of the Jain faith. The five parts of this work, written by Shrimad Devendrasur, are extremely important. They present a discussion of all Jain philosophy, including karma theory, gunasthan, maganna, jiva, and ajiva, along with their various distinctions. The text is in complex Prakrit and has many famous commentaries in Sanskrit. It is also well-known in Gujarati. A commentary on it in Hindi was prepared by the famous scholar Pt. Sukhlalji about 40 years ago. Currently, a Hindi commentary on the Karmagranth was available. Then, there was a significant change in the way it was being studied. Many learned monks and lay devotees had been requesting for years that a work as vast and profound as the Karmagranth should be re-interpreted and published in a new way. Only a capable scholar like you, a great saint and master of the scriptures, could undertake this extremely laborious and expensive task. There was also a desire for this. The body has become quite old. Even now, you spend more than 10-12 hours a day engaged in scriptural study, literary creation, and other activities. Last year, Suredevatri resolved to take this work forward. She began writing the commentary. The responsibility for making the language of the commentary beautiful and engaging, collecting footnotes and quotations from the Agamas, writing the introduction, and other tasks was entrusted to the renowned scholar Shriyut Shrichand Gurana.
