Muni Shri Punyavijayaji It is our sad duty to report the death on June 14 of Agamaprabhakar Sri Punyavijayaji. He had been elected to Honorary Membership in the Society in 1970. The dean of Sanskrit and Prakrit Jain studies, he was ever ready to interrupt his own valuable work to make available to student and scholar, alike, data and guidance necessary for their researches. The loss to Indological studies is immeasurable. Journal of the AMERICAN ORIENTAL SOCIETY Volume 91/Number 31 July-September 1971, On June 14, 1971, Jain studies, in particular, and Indological studies, in general, suffered an inestimable loss at the death of Agama Prabhakar Muni Sri Punya Vijayaji. His researches in Jain canonical texts and the ancillary literature demonstrated their value, attracting and encouraging interest in them as works hitherto unexplored. The critical editions prepared by him set models for Indian scholars subsequently undertaking editorial projects. As a scholar, never confined by sectarian bias, he was ever ready to share with scholar and layman alike, the riches of his learning and experience. In 1970 he was elected to Honorary Membership in the Society. Journal of the AMERICAN ORIENTAL SOCIETY Volume 92 ) Number 3) July-September, 1972 For Private And Personal Use Only

"gujarAta samAcAra' dainika, amadAvAda tA. 15--chA. Agama-Prabhakara Muni Shri Punyavijayaji Dr. Umakant P. Shah Agama-Prabhakara Muni Shri Punyavijayaji, the eminent Prakrit scholar and a versatile Jaina monk, expired on 14th June, 1971 about ten days after a successful operation in Bombay. All Oriental Scholars in India remember very well the wealth of Jaina manucripts that he brought to our notice in the exhibition (the only of its type so far organised in any Oriental Conference) that he organised and arranged at the time of the 17th session of the All-India Oriental Conference which met in 1953 at Ahmedabad. It showed that he was interested in all branches of Indian literature contributed not only by the Jainas, but by Hindus and Buddhists as well. It was due to the strong support and backing of the learned Muni that the Prakrit Text Society of India came into being under the patronage of the then Rashtrapati Babu Rajendra Prasad. It was with the nucleus of ten thousand rare manuscripts, including several important illustrated ones, donated by the Muni that the now famous Lalbhai Dalpatbhai Institute of Indology was started at Ahmedabad with large donations of Sheth Kasturbhai Lalbhai. The Muni inherited from his Guru's guru (Pravartaka Shri Kantivijaya) and even the letter's guru-the famous Acharya Vijayananda Suri (Atmaramaji Maharaja) the love of learning, and a broad liberal outlook which went beyond narrow sectarian boundaries. An erudite scholat of Sanskrit, Prakrits, Apabhramsa and Old Gujarati, the Muni has examined and catalogued and preserved lakhs of manuscripts in the various Jaina Bhandaras of Gujarat and Rajasthan, especially those For Private And Personal Use Only

He edited these texts in a masterly scientific way. His edition of the agcalerst, the earliest available version (in Prakrit of c. 5th cent. A. D.), of the lost 96391 written in Paishachi Prakrit by Gunadhya, and his editions of the bRhatkalpabhASya with TIkA and cUrNi and of the aMgavijjA which is an unparalleled storehouse of information on material culture of India in the late Kshatrapa and early Gupta age are sufficient to ensure for him a permanent place amongst Orientalists. Single-handed, he planned and carried out the work of preparing critical editions of all the Jaina Canonical texts, The Prakrit Text Society, patronised by the President of India was started mainly to publish all these texts, and many other rare works from Jaina Bhandaras which were made available through the learned Muniji. He was in fact the main life-line of this project. The Muniji was elected President of the Prakrits and Jainism section of the 21st session of the All-India Oriental Conference which met in Shrinagar in 1961. He, however, shirked all worldly honours. He refused to accept the coveted position of an Acharya in Jaina hierarchy of monks, so willingly offered to him by his elders. But till the last, his opinion and interpretation of the Jaina religion were respected by all monks of the highest order and nobody dared to challenge him, even though he preferred to remain a mere Muni. Muniji was born at Kapadavanja (Gujarat) in 1895 A, D. (V. S. 1952). He obtained Diksha at the age of 14 in Chhani near Baroda, and left this human body in Bombay on 14-6-71.

"kumAra" mAsika, amadAvAda; phebruArI, 1972 A savant among saints and a saint among savants : Muni Punyavijayji B. M. Singhi A true specimen of the Jaina monkhood and a worthy representative of the Jaina tradition and heritage of the Jaina fold, Muni Punyavijayji, who died in Bombay on June 14, 1971 was a life-long traveller in the realms of knowledge. He had an insatiable yearning for exploration of the wisdom of the past. It is absolutely true that but for his ceaseless efforts in the direction of research and scholarship, the vast treasures of knowledge would have remained locked up in the bhandaras of the Jaina temples. Initiated and inspired by Muni Chaturvijayji and taught and encouraged by Pandit Sukhlalji, he devoted his whole life to bring to light hundreds of valuable manuscripts written on palm-leaves and preserved in the Jaina bhandaras of Jaisalmer, Patan, Cambay, Baroda, Ahmedabad, Bikaner, Jodhpur, Limbdi, etc. At initiation, he was not a great scholar, but he soon developed under the inspiring leadership and guidance of his master Muni Chaturvijayji a passion for learning and threw himself heart and soul in the direction of seeking and acquiring knowledge and learning. It was here that Pandit Sukhalalji helped him. He was indeed fortunate in having an inspiring preceptor in Muni Chaturvijayji and an encouraging teacher and guide in Pandit Sukhlalji. He made the best of what he learnt and acquired from both of them and always acknowledged his gratitude and indebtedness to both. He called Muni Chaturvijayji as his teanga and Pandit For Private And Personal Use Only

yla al youfarum agimla-faanis [73 Sukhlalji as his fa' throughout his life. He had great respect for both of them and received great affection and admiration from them. Muniji's contribution to research and learning in the field of Indology was supreme. He made concerted efforts to bring out the old manuscripts in Prakrit, Sanskrit and Apabhramsa from the traditionally closed bhandaras through the influence, ingenuity and industry of his Guru Chaturvijayji and his own. He took long and arduous journeys in places far off to discover and recover the manuscripts which were treasure-houses of knowledge and learning. He knew no obstacles in his pathway towards the goal he had set out for himself. He did all this single-handed and undeterred by opposi tion and difficulties which came in his way. He had great conviction of the importance of the scholastic work he had undertaken and a great confidence in his ability to pursue the path he had chosen. It was his great 'a' to make the hitherto hidden sources of knowledge open and available to scholars and research-workers of the world. It is indeed true that but for him, Jaino logy would have remained deprived of many important and valuable springs of knowledge in its area. Muniji was an individual but his work proved that he was an institution and what he achieved through his incessant endeavours would have been considered absolutely miraculous even for an institution. Pandit Sukhlalji had once remarked, "What several sadhus of either Sthanakvasi, Murtipujak or other sects combined could not do and achieve, was achieved by Muni Punyavijayji." Not only in quantum his work was great but also in quality and standard of perfection it was great. He was a perfectionist and would never leave his i's undotted and t's uncut. He had no parallel in this respect. He could do this because he had a real mastery over all the three languages of the oriental fa, viz, Sanskrit, Prakrit and Apabhramsa. What was really astonishing was that his passion, pursuit and perseverence did not make him flinch in any way from the disciplined life enjoined upon him by the rules and practices of monkhood He was a saint first and a saint last. His erudition of knowledge was only an additional embellishment to his sainthood. All through his life, he followed meticulously all vratas (a) of a Jaina monk which he was required to observe. Truly, he had right perception, right knowledge and right conduct. He was great in scholarship, he was greater still in his character based on religious piety and non-attachment to 10 For Private And Personal Use Only

Whatever came to him as a token of respect and appreciation for him and his work from his shravakas (1174) was ploughed back in his farm of knowledge to plant more and reap more. By birth and by initiation he belonged to the Svetambara Murtipujak sect of the Jainas, but he was no where secterian in his approach and views, He was a scholar with open mind in every respect, and his field was open to every one who cared to come to him for any help and guidance in the direction of his specialized study. He was generous in extending all help to all. He never had any reservation or reticence of any kind in the sphere of knowledge. Thus, by giving more and more and requiring less and less, he fulfilled the basic duties and responsibilities af a Jaina ary in the truest sense. Even among scholars, we find quite often a spirit of isolation, a sense of arrogance and envy and a habit of holding secrets of knowledge themselves, but Muni Punyavijayji believed in sharing of knowledge and keeping the realm of knowledge free from bounds. He was an embodiment of an all 21 fayah?'. This was a rare quality which Muniji had imbibed from his Gurus and handed over to his disciples and followers. His broad and catholic outlook, his perfact devotion to the true and the good and his absolutely unassuming behaviour with both equals and unequals was exemplary and en-nobling. Inspite of his interest in and attachment to the ancient works of learning, his commentaries, introductions and other writings bear the mark of his modern outlook. His findings were arranged, organised and accomodated in such a way that they could meet the requirements of the modern scholars His field of work did not confine to and end with the discovery, collection research, editing and publication of the manuscripts. As an adjunct to his involvement in this field he also developed interest in paintings, inscriptions and coins, etc. He was also a connoisseur of the Jaina paintings and numismatics and was always ready to solve the problem if and when the same arose in these fields. He was actually a versatile scholar, always keen to seek, to understand, to apply and to achieve whenever and in whatever pastures he had the chance to enter. He was in the first line of the scholars of Prakrit texts and it was on account of his knowledge and ability and devo. tion to the study of Prakrit texts that the Prakrit Text Soceiety was formed by late Dr. Rajendra Prasad when he was President of India. To have a comprehensive view and make a comparative study of Indian religion and Indian culture, he went for the study of the relevant and important texts For Private And Personal Use Only

Muniji who was called Manilal before he was initiated in February 1909 was born in Kapadvanj in Gujarat on 27th October 1895, but had his primary education in Bombay, where his father Dahyabhai Doshi had gone for earning his livelihood. Unfortunately his father died when Manilak, was only ten years old. His mother, thus widowed at the young age of only 27 years, was left alone with this son of ten years. She was very religious minded from the very beginning but this calamity made her far more indifferent to and detached from the worldy affairs. She sought to take atai and become a nun. But the question was : What to do with Manilal ? However, the desired happened and Manilal also developed an attitude and temperament to be consecrated as a monk. Muni Shri Chaturvijayji initiated him into monkhood. Within three days, after the son thus took to monkhood assuming the new name of Punyavijaya, the mother also became a nun and was called Sadhvi Ratanshri. Thereafter mother and son both lived in the fold, serving the Jaina faith and liberating their lives from karma. Following the traditions of collection and research into the field of oriental learning, laid down by his Guru's Guru kantivijayji and his Guru Shri Chaturvijayji, he edited the Sanskrit play called #lgatianara, a drama of Muni Ramacandra, in 1917, just within eight years of his teat9a67. Thereafter during the last 54 years, he edited, collected and published several important works of many Acaryas of the earlier times. a8r4710 which he edited jointly with his Ja Muni Chaturvijayji with higiet and $147 was published in 6 volumes between the years 1933 and 1942. This was one of the most important works of Munishri. Among his other works which impressed the scholars in the country and abroad can be mentioed aucaferst, AGITTLE, sitilauki, jItakalpasUtra, pavitrakalpasUtra, kIrtikaumudI, yogazatakam , rAmazatakam , nighaNTuzeSa and AkhyAnakamaNikoSa etc. His two volumes of the Catalogue of palam-leaf Manuscripts and three volumes of Catalogue of Sanskrit and prakrit Manuscripts provide valuable references for scholars. The last but not the least in the series of his contributions was the editing of the Jaina Agamas. It was at his initiative that the Mahavir Jain Vidyalaya of Bombay .undertook a project to publish critical texts of the Jaina Agamas under the joint editorship of himself and Prof. Dalsukh Malvania. This scheme would epitomise the vast collection of his works. It was indeed a very comprehensive and For Private And Personal Use Only

of 1 zrI AtmAnaMda prakAza bold scheme to revise the text of the Jaina canonical literature in the light of the new materials now available as a result of recent research. As is well-known, the last seat of the Agamas was carried out nearly 1500 years ago under the guidance of Shri Devardhi Gani Kshamashramana. It was in recognition of this great undertaking that the Jaina community honoured him with the title of 63111749 1197', although he never cared for any title or epithet as he did not even accept the title of 'Th' and r'. Work was his worship and was the greatest reward by itself. In 1959, Muniji was elected President of the sectional conference on History and Ancient Indian Culture on the occassion of the twentieth session of the Gujarati Sahitya Parishad at Ahmedabad and two years later, he was elected President of the Prakrit and Jainism section of the twentyfirst session of the All-India Oriential Conference which had met at Shrinagar in Kashmir. In February 1969, when Muniji completed sixty years of his life after initiation as any, felicitations were extended to him in a volume ( Frisla) containing his own writings and an account of his life and works together with appreciations from scholars here and abroad. While paying respectful tributes to Muniji Prof. Klaus Bruhn of Germany had said, "Muni Punyavijayji is perhapsthe greatest living specialist in the field of Jaina literature but he is not a specialist in the sense that he devoted all his life-time to the study of one particular section of the material. He had a rare instinct for urgency which compelled him to shift his interest from one field to another, as soon as he felt that the most urgent work had been completed and that new and different tasks awaited for his attention." Similarly, Prof. W. Norman Brown of the University of Pensylvania, U. S A., had said, "He has been throughout his whole career a worthy representative of the best Indian tradition of learning and teaching." Prof. Dr. Ludwig Alsdorf, Professor of Indology in the University of Hamburg called him, "A model monk and true scholar of wide interests." I have said earlier in this article and will say again that it was in his devotion to work and dynamism of thought that the true greatness of Muniji lay. He was never swept away with either appreciation or opposition and what was most astonishingly revealing about him was that even though deeply absorbed and closely closetted with the works of the past, he was not closed in his mind and in his approach and that gave him the vision of a true any and a religiously upright man. He attached great impo For Private And Personal Use Only

muni zrI puNyavijyajI zraddhAMjali-vizeSAMka [77 rtance to education, which, to him, was the real foundation for progress. In so far as religion was concerned he was of the opinion that religion should help man in his progress. He had once written, " The time has come when every sensible person should dispassionately see and think how religion can help in the human progress and uplift. Only when religion fulfills this part it will be possible for the religion and religiosity to find a worthy place in our life; otherwise in spite of all the rites and rituals of different sects of our faith and religion, true religion is bound to decay and die." Let the above be taken as the Muni's message for us all, whether the consecrated or the laity. Religion to live and to help men to live more sublime and more purposeful and meaningful lives must have a clear and undivided vision and dynamism in order to meet the challenge of the times. Munishri Punyavijayji is dead, no doubt; his message and example are not dead, no doubt. -"Jain Journal," Quarterly; Calcutta; October, 1971. bhAratakI eka virala vibhUti agaracanda nAhaTA bhAratIya sAdhanA-praNAlImeM jJAnopAsanAkA bar3A mahatva hai / jJAnako prakAza aura prajJAnako granthakAra kahA gayA hai / jJAnake binA manuSya pazuke samAna hai / kartavya-akartavyakA bodha jJAnake binA nahIM hotA aura jisameM hitAhitakA jJAna nahIM, vaha saMsArake lie bhArabhUta hai| . samaya-samaya para aise aneka mahApuruSa utpanna hote haiM, jo jIvanabhara jJAnopAsanA karake kevala apanA hI uddhAra nahIM karate para mAnavamAtrake lie mArga-darzaka yA prakAzastambha bana jAte haiN| paramparAgata jJAnakA vistAra karate hue ve apanI anubhUtiyoMse kalyANapatha pradarzita karate hue aisA kArya kara jAte haiM, jisase bhAvI pIr3hIko bhI jJAnakA prakAza milatA rahe / jJAnakI ve aisI jyoti jagA jAte haiM, jisase bhUle bhaTake hue prANiyoMko sahI mArgakA jJAna sahaja hI ho jAtA hai| abhIabhI di. 14 jUnakI rAtako 8-30 baje eka esI hI vibhUti hamase tirohita ho cukI hai, jinhoMne apanA sArA jIvana jJAnopAsanAmeM lagAyA aura anekoM vyaktiyoMko sahayoga dekara isa kSetrameM Age bddh'aayaa| unakA zubha nAma hai :-"muni zrI punnyvijyjii|" 76 varSakI AyumeM bambaImeM unake svargavAsa honekI sUcanA milI hai| unakA yahAM saMkSipta paricaya diyA jA rahA hai : For Private And Personal Use Only

muni zrI puNyavijayajI zraddhAMjali-vizeSAMka Agama-Prabhakara Muni Punyavijayaji D. D. Malvania * Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir fev On June 14th 1971 at night 8-45, Agama-Prabhakara Muni Shri Punyavijayaji left this world at the age of 75. In his death the world of the learned has lost not only a saint-scholar but a real humanitarian soul who was ready to help in so many ways not only to scholars but all who saught his help. During his more than sixty years of saintly life he had no rest, always engaged in some type of literary work-editing and correcting the old texts or dealing with the mss or advising some one-from early morning till late night not negleting his monestic duties. In his premonestic life he was known as Manilal whose birth took place in V. S. 1952, Kartaka Shukla Panchami which is the day for the worship of knowledge. His father Dahyabhai and mother Manekben were resident of Kapadvanj in Gujarat. When he was only of three months and his mother was out of home suddenly the fire broke out in the street where they were living and their home was not spared. When the mother came back she found her home fully burnt and she though that the child Manilal also must have been burnt. But as luck have it a Muslim of Vora community during the home-burning hours took away the child Manilal and the next morning he handed over the child to Manekben whose joy knew no bound finding that her son was alive. At the age of 27 Manekben lost her husband and both the mother and son Manilal accepted the ascetic life in V. S. 1965. For Private And Personal Use Only Manilal was admitted in the Jaina ascetic life by Muni Shri Chaturavijayaji whose Guru was welknown Pravartaka Kantivijayaji. He was given new name Punyavijayaji at the time of renunciation of the worldly relations. This Trio of Jaina ascetics throughout the life was engaged in rehabilitation work of the Jaina Bhandaras having thousands of mss collected in them but utterly neglected by the community. And as a result in Patan the Hemachandra Jnanamandir is established where most of the mss of various Jaina Bhandaras of Patan are collected and restored for the use of the scholars who were previously unable even to see those mss. The Jaina Bhandara of Limbadi was also restored by this trio, and lately the famous Jaina Bhandaras of Cambay and Jesalmera were visited by Muni Shri Punyavijayaji and reformation was conducted by him alone. Not only these famous collections were properly restored but wherever Muni Punyavijayaji went during his travels in

Page #111
wwwmv zrI AtmAnaMda prakAza Rajasthan, Gujarat, Malva and Maharashtra he made it a point to visit the mss-collection if any and to make the proper arrangement for the protection of the mss. We can say that in India he was a unique scholar in the field of manuscriptology. This trio collected for themselves many important valuable mss and printed books. This whole collection is presented to L D. Institute of Indology, Ahmedabad by Shri Punyavijayaji during his life-time and from this nucleus now the Institute has developed a vast library containing more than 35000 mss and 20000 printed books. Muniji had prepared press-copies of many works. During his life-time he presented many out of them to the deserving scholars to edit them. He himself has edited many important texts Among them most important areVasudevahindi, Brhatkalpa-Bhasya, Hemacandra's Trisasti, Angavijja, Kalpasutra, Akhyanakamanikosa, etc. For the last forty years he was engaged in preparing the critical edition of the Jaina canonical texts. Wherever he went and if he found the mss of the canonical text he will note down the variants in his printed text of the cannon. Mahavira Vidyalaya of Bombay undertook to publish all the canonical texts critically edited by Muniji. The Vidyalaya is able to publish three texts--Nandi, Anuyoga and Prajnapana. The rest will be published in due course. He was able to publish the Catalogues of mss of Limdi, Cambay and of his own collection. Catalogue of Jesalmer is already printed and that of Patan is also printed (partly), but they are not published. * The Jaina Sangha requested him many-a-times to accept the award of Acharya-ship, but he was satisfied with his own humble Muniship. On continuous request he accepted the title of Agamaprabhakara. Muniji was elected as president of Jaina section of Oriental Conference in Shrinagar in 1961 and was awarded the Honarary membership of the American Oriental Society 1970. Jnananjali' is published in 1969 A. D. in his honour on the occasion of his completion of sixty years of his ascetic life. And from that we can find out how much he was respected by and how much indeted are the Indian and foreign scholars to him. May his soul rest in peace.

On June 14, 1971, Jain studies, in particular, and Indological studies, in general, suffered an inestimable loss at the death of Agama Prabhakar Muni Shri Punyavijayaji. The legacy he has left testifies to this, as would also everyone who had enjoyed the privilege of meeting and working with the Muniji. (I employ the seemingly familiar appellation with no intent of disrespect, for he, himself, preferred the simpler term to the formal title bestowed on him by the Community in reverend appreciation of his works.)

muni zrI puNyavijayajI zraddhAMjali-vizeSAMka [ 85 His researches in Jain canonical texts and the ancillary literature composed in Apabhramsa and Old Gujarati, as well as in the classical languages, Prakrit and Sanskrit, demonstrated their value, attracting and encouraging interest in them as works hitherto unexplored. Moreover, the critical editions of texts prepared by him set models for those subsequently undertaking editorial projects. Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir Too much cannot be said of his scholarly activities. He organized and reorganized the contents of Jain Bhandars in Gujarat and Rajasthan. In the process of cataloguing their collections, he rescued a number of rare texts, many of them of inestimable value to students of Indian art for the quality of their illustrations. His appreciation of the merit of such illustrated manuscripts and recognition of the need for their preservation and exploration encouraged their study and made possible important contributions to the knowledge of Indian miniature painting. His own collection of thousands of manuscripts, for the maintenance and preservation of which he trained assistants and which he donated to the L.D. Institute of Indology of Ahmedabad, forms the foundation of its admirable collection. As a scholar the Muniji, never confined by sectarian bias, was everready to share with scholar and layman, alike, the riches of his learning and experience. His influence on Indian literature and art will long be felt and his memory preserved with reverence and affection. muni zrI puNyavijayajI mahArAjakA dehAvasAna pro. pRthvIrAja jaina bhAratIya bhASAoM evaM jaina dharmake prakANDa vidvAn paramapUjya AgamaprabhAkara muni zrI puNyavijayajI kA tA. 14 jUna 71 ko vAlakezvara jainamaMdira bambaI meM dehAvasAnakA samAcAra prApta hote hI sAre deza meM zoka kI lahara daur3a gaI / ApazrI AcArya vijayavallabha sUrIzvarajI mahArAjake AjJAnuvartiyoM meM se the tathA jIvana paryanta jaina Agama sAhityake saMzodhana evaM sampAdanameM lage rahe / Apane jo apUrva sAhitya - sAdhanA kI usakA udAharaNa pichale tIna-cAra sau varSameM bhI nahIM milegaa| kAphI dinoM taka saMgrahaNIse pIDita bhI rahe, phira bhI Agama-saMzodhana-sampAdanakA kArya Apa avirAma karate rahe / ApakI sAhityika sevAoMse prabhAvita hokara 1953 meM jainasaMgha baDaudAne Apako 'AgamaprabhAkara' kI upAdhi se vibhUSita kiyA / Apa svabhAvase namra mRdubhASI aura milanasAra the| aise ucca koTike vidvAn evaM jainazAsanakI prabhAvanA karane vAle ApazrIjI ke nidhanakA samAcAra pAte hI For Private And Personal Use Only

(tA. 16-6-71) Research Institute of Prakrit, Jainology and Ahimsa, Vaishali Agamaprabhakara Muni Punyavijayaji was a great Guru passionately loved and venerated by his disciples. He was a versatile scholar, and could secure access to the vast collections of manuscripts lying hidden in the Jnanabhandaras of Rajasthan and Gujarat, jealously guarded by their custodians, and was successful in devising ways and means for their proper preservation and propagation. His knowledge of the Jaina lore was vast and deep, and he discovered a large number of valuable manuscripts, some of For Private And Personal Use Only

Our Institute was also one of the beneficiaries in this respect. He laboured indefatigably with insatiable curiosity. His contributions to the field of Jaina learning will ever remain worthy of admiration and emulation. The sudden death of the great Muni has come as a rude shock to the seholarly world which was eagerly waiting for the successful completion of the Jaina Agama Texts Series started by him in collaboration with other eminent scholars, under the auspices of Shri Mahavira Jaina Vidyalya, Bombay. He was an institution by himself and it would be in the fitness of things if a centre of advanced study in Jainology be founded in the sacred memory of the great saint and scholar. Indologists in general, and scholars of Jainism in particular, owe a deep debt of gratitude to him, which they should be able to redeem by the establishment of such centre through the munificence of his affluent devotees who are spread all over the country and abroad.

This Seminar recalls his great services to the cause of Parkrit studies in particular and Indological studies in general. He had obliged many scholars by opening the Jain Bhandaras and supplying them the necessary manuscripts for their study. He himself was the editor of many important Sanskrit and Parkrit texts. Even at the last hour, he was engaged in editing critically the Jain canonical works. The death of this saint and scholar is a great loss to the scholarly world. May his soul rest in peace.

Not only the Society but the scholars of Indian culture have lost by his death, a sympathetic and profound guide in various fields of Ancient and Medieval Indian Studies He was always ready to help any of the scholars from India and abroad, especially by providing them the mss which were not available to them otherwise.

Jain: The News of expiry of Aganaprabhakara Muni Punya-Vijayaji Maharaj has come to me as a terrible lock, 14 was a torch-bearer of Jaina learning and literary renaissance in the modern age. The gap caused by his sudden departure is very difficult to be filled. I still recall the glow of spiritual light and wisdom on his face when I met him in Bombay only three months back when we assembled there to celebrate the publication of his critical edition of Pannavara Satta Vol II. The made he was giving to us, the more and more was our thurst for his literary contributions. He has now attained the light of divinity and we are plunged in the darkness of sorrow, I however hope that the literary walth lef behind by him will continue to inspire us and illuminate our path. May his soul continue to enjoy spiritual peace and glory of inner lelf.

I have met him only a very few times, but he made a deep impression on me as a man, a monk and a devoted scholar The services he rendered to his community and to Indology can never be forgotten I owe him a personal debt of gratitude, particularly for his hospitality at Jaisalmere-one of the most remarkable and impressive experiences I have had in India-, but also for subsequent help and unfailing friendship. I do hope that those numerous manuscripts he had to leave unpublished will soon be edited and made available to Jainologists and Indologists in general, (Hanburg, dep; 27-10-1971 For Private And Personal Use Only

His Samadhimarana is a fulllment of a great mission in life on which he had embarked. May his soul rest in Peace!
