Prof. Kapadia has, however, published a letter from Prof. Jacoby on the 14th February. 1928 which in my opinion settles the matter. Fish of which the fiesh may be eaten, but scales and bones must be taken out was a school example of an object containing the substance which is wanted in intimate conexion with much that must be rejected. The words of the Acharanga are consequently technical terms and do not imply that 'meat' and 'fish' might be earen."1 proslI ke vidvAna DaoNkTara sTena kono ne jainAcArya zrI vijayendra sarijI ko likhe gaye patra meM DaoN. harmana jaikobI ke spaSTIkaraNa kI sarAhanA karate hue yaha mata vyakta kiyA hai ki pUrNa ahiMsAvAdI aura Astika jainoM meM kabhI mAMsAhAra kA pracalana rahA ho , isakI kalpanA bhI nahIM kI jA sktii| vaha patra isa prakAra hai :-- "Prof. Jacoby has done a great service to scholars in clearing up the much discussed question about meat eating among Jainas.

Prof. Jacoby's short remarks on the other hand make the whole matter clear. My reason for mentioning it was that I wanted to bring his explanation to the knowledge of so many scholars as possible.
