You have omitted no relevant points from your discussion and your editon of of this difficult text is all that one can desire... Your discussion of the general philosophical implication of the doctrines is interesting and scholarly, while your study of the Apabhramsa of the text is highly informative and lucid... I have nothing but great admiration for the patience, industry and learning displayed by this work."

'श्री. आदिनाथ उपाध्याय जैन प्राकृत तथा इतर जैन साहित्यके प्रगाढ़ पंडित हैं । प्रसिद्ध ग्रंथ 'प्रवचनसार' का सुंदर और सर्वांगपूर्ण संस्करण निकालकर उन्हों ने पहले ही विद्वन्मंडली में आदर और सत्कार पाया है । प्रस्तुत ग्रंथके द्वारा उन्हों ने अपनी कीर्ति को और उज्ज्वल किया है । इतने सुसंपादित ग्रंथ बिरले ही देखनेको मिलते हैं ।
