Page #9
dhist holy writs. In this Presidency Jain studies have attracted Bhandarkar, Buhler and Peterson. On the Continent Hermann Jacobi and Leumann and Gerni are its well-known exegete 8. Leumann and Hoernle's participation in the interpretation of Jain philosophy and much of Jacobi's work, as well as a systematic research into other aspects of Jain teachings by Weber, are accessible in English. It is not, however, the gle szes fut upon their scriptural tenets by Western scholars which alone satisfy the rising Jain generation. And we note with pleasure the endeavour made in Ahmedabad to found a Jaln Text Society for the publication of original Magadhitexts with Sanskrit commentaries and Gujarati fuper.commentaries. The project comprises the printing of the forty-five canonical books of the Shvetapibara sect and is estimated to cost two lakhs of rupees and cover a period of twenty five years. The first attempt in a similar direction was made in Bengal in 1880 by Rai Dhan pat Singh Bahadur, who consecrated a lakh of rupees to the publication of Jain religious literature. Jainism baving its n ost brilliant followers in Gujarat, the Gujarati language bas acquired a semi-hieratic churacter with the Jaite. Dhan pat Singh's edition was furnished with Gujarati commentary. To Gujarati Jains the editiou fails to supply their want. The Bengali type of Sanskrit characters is fatiguing to the eye, and the scholia represent very old Guj rati which needs elucidation. Hence the enterprise of the Jainagama Publishing Society of Ahmedabad. The First volume The first volume to be taken in hand for publication is the Bhagavati Sutra which is estimated to cover five thousand pages and will be priced at Rp. 45. Doubtless the editors will take advantage of Weber's translation of some sections of the enormous work, but we would ask the Society to make (viry possible effort to enlist the co-operation of the living representative of the indegenous tradition and to subordinate Western interpretaion to the construction suggested by Jain Munis. We note that the Society expresses its readiness warmly to welcome the preferred assistance of these traditional repositories of Jain learning. It should not, however, be overlooked that the latter will hardly come forward of their own accord at this general invitatiou. The Society would do well to seek out ascetics and laymen of noted erudition. And we would venture to suggest that they should model their procedure in the Pali Texts Society of London and to avoid the pitfall of the latter. Some money and ehthusiasm sustained for near thirty years have conferred enduring obligation on the world interested in Buddhism. The Ahmedabad Society has before it an opportuuity of like magnitude. We should be sorry to see cold water thrown on the scheme judged from its financial policy. Much as the series of works contemplated to be puller hed will be respected, they will, like all publications of its clars, be more admired than read and

Page #10
more read than purchased. We have therefore some misgivings as to the suc cess of the "business-like scheme" on which the works are to see the light of day. Hundreds of Jains can individually defray the estimated two lakhs, if only they can be brought to appreciate the laudable aims of the undeataking. Literary enterprise which has little commercial value can scarcely succeed without the potronage of an enlightened possensor of riches.

But I am sorry to miss in your programme any provision for research work in your history and sacred books. The history and tenets of your creed are hardly known to non-Jains beyond the narrow circle of a few oriental scholars. It was believed for centuries by all outsiders that Jainism was an offshoot of Bud. dhism and its study was neglected on account of this belief. And who dispelled this misunderstanding ? Not the members of your community. A German scholar was required to announce to the world that Jainism was independent of Buddhism and was able to prove that your 23rd Tirthankara was not a mythological personage and that he lived as early as 700 B. C. I do not hereby mean to say that there are not learned men among you. I know full well that there are a good many who are well-versed in all the details of your abstruse philosophy and subtle intricacies of logic. But the critical and historical faculty and a wide acquiantance with the progress of science and modern thought is apt to be sadly wanting in all our priests and people. The age of blind belind belief is gone; and the world is not going to believe in anything on mere authority, however old it may be. You shall have have to establish by the concrete evidence of Science and sound reasoning that your religion antedates the Vedas, if it is to be accepted by the world of scholar-ship. paraMtu tamArA kAryakramamAM tamArA ItihAsa ane tamArA pavitra sUtra (Sacred Books) nI zodha khoLa mATe kAMI jogavAI nathI rAkhavAmAM AvI e joI mane kheda thAya che. thoDAka pAzcAtya vidvAnonI eka nAnakaDI maMDaLI zivAya, anya janetarone ta. mArI jAtinA itihAsa ane siddhAMta bhAgyeja jANavAmAM che. ghaNA saikAo thayAM bahAranAM badhAM lake ema mAnatAM hatAM ke, jaina dharma e boddha dharmanI eka zAkhA che. ane AvI mAnItA sivAya bIjA koIpaNa kAraNathI tenA (jainadharmano) abhyAsa tarapha bedarakArI batAvavAmAM nahotI AvI. ane AvI gerasamajutI keNe dUra karI ? tamArI kemanA so e nahI! zraddhadharmathI jainadharma eka judo ane svataMtradharma che evuM jagata sanmukha jAhera karavAne eka jarmana vidvAnanI jarUra paDI. ane te (jarmana - lara mI. jekebI ) ema sAbIta karavAne zaktivAna thayo ke, tamArA 23mA tIrthaMkara eka daMtakathA rUpa varNavelA purUSa nahotA, paraMtu teo i. sa. nI pUrve 700 varSe eka vidyamAnatA dharAvanAra purUSa hatA.
