Niyamasara is one of the most renowned adhyatmika works of Acharya Kundakunda. It deals with the path of liberation, which is Right Belief, Right Knowledge and Right Conduct, the three jewels of the Jaina faith combined. The word Niyamasara literally signifies the Right Rule, i.e. the true and indispensable law for the attainment of liberation.

Attachment and aversion, which include all passionate thoughts and activities, are the main cause of karmic bondage; while non-attachment or pure thought activity leads to freedom from bondage.

With the original text in Prakrit, with its Sanskrit rendering and English translation and exhaustive commentary, had been published first time by the Central Jaina Publishing House, Lucknow in 1931.

After a long time the same translation is being brought out by Bharatiya Jnanpith so that the readers and scholars of Jaina philosophy may enrich themselves for their academic purpose.
