After consulting Mahapragya, Acharya Tulsi decided to start the research, translation and annotation of the Jain Agamas.
The work started in 1955 in Ujjain under the leadership of Acharya Tulsi with Mahapragya being the editorial director.
Joint activity of Acharya Tulsi, Mahapragya and other intellectual monks and nuns began to facilitate the permanent preservation of many thousands of years old canonical scriptures.
This old literature is in Prakrit language and its commentaries are either available in Prakrit or Prakrit mixed with Sanskrit.
The original text of the thirty-two Agam scriptures was determined and their Hindi translation also completed.
Detailed commentaries thereon made them more interesting and comprehensible.
This task carried out in accordance with the verbal renderings by Acharya Tulsi was guided by an entirely non-sectarian and open mind and is therefore viewed with respect by the heads of other sects as well as intellectual and oriental scholars of the East and the West.
Acharang Bhasyam is Mahapragya's commentary for Acharang in sanskrit.
He uncovered many Agam mysteries and presented root philosophies and Mahavira's philosophy and vision in this commentary.
