After the Nirvana of Mahavira, his Sangh was headed by the
ganadharas, who composed the teachings of Mahavira and
established the basic corpus of the Jaina canon. Later post-
canonical writing added more value and sense of perspective to
the already impressive body of Jaina literature by writing detailed
bhashyas and curnis on the original scriptures. These works are
crucial for the study of the original scriptures as they present an
analysis of the thoughts of the original authors who composed
the canon.

The Nishitha is a very important Agama of the Jaina canon. It is a
veritable ocean of knowledge for the ascetic conduct. Thus it is
centrally important to the Shvetambara ascetic as the authoritative
work on Jaina monastic discipline throwing light on different aspects
of the ideal conduct with respect to time, place and situations.

The Bhashya and Curni add a more contemporary perspective on
the socio-political trends prevalent in society at that time.

An insightful introduction by Dalsukhbhai Malvania and a thorough
well-researched English Preface by B.B. Raynade add more value
to this edition, a brand new reprint of the original 1957 edition.
