Users of this indispensible manual for the study of laypeople’s conduct in the Jain communities, actually of their whole religious striving (yoga) − a book into which much work has gone indeed − may miss an index of words, especially terms with good English translations, in view of the fact that to Monier Williams in 1899 many Digambara texts were unavailable. Therefore it is hoped that the one below will be attached to a reprint. As authors can easily be found in the table of Contents (p. vii), as a rule they have not been listed. Important explanations, etc., are printed in bold numbers. All explanations, verbatim or paraphrased, are Williams’, unless stated otherwise.
