The Late Padmanabh S Jaini talking about JAINpedia. Please see Video.
“Late Prof. Padmanabh Jaini had been associated with the IOJ since 1988. Over the years, his tenure with the institute was marked by remarkable contributions, most notably his role in overseeing the translation of the Tattvarthasutra into contemporary English by Dr. Nathmal Tatia.
The translation project was a monumental task, requiring not only a deep understanding of the original text but also the ability to convey its nuanced meanings in a modern context. Prof. Jaini’s expertise in both classical Sanskrit and contemporary English was instrumental in ensuring the accuracy and readability of the translation. The completion of this work marked a significant milestone in the field of Jain studies, making the teachings of the Tattvarthasutra accessible to a global audience,”
