Again, he has edited the following two important works: (1) Jaina Theory of Multiple Facets of Reality and Truth (2) Ac. Hemacandra's Pramanamimamsa- A Critique of Organ of Knowledge, A work on JAINA LOGIC.
He has been proud recipient of many prestigious awards such as • Pre- eminent Sanskrit Scholar Award (1996) of Gujarat State
Sanskrit Sahitya Academy. • Research Prize by Sardar Patel University • Siddhasen Divakara Gold Medal for Contribution to Indian
and Jaina Philosophy • Hemchandra Acharya Gold Medal and Award (B.L. Institute)
of Rs. 51,000 for his contribution to Jain Philosophy by writing excellent works.
Furthermore he loved to teach and under his tutelage seven students completed their research work for Ph.D.
As a person he shied away from public discussions and attention. Rather he loved to have one on one discussion with highly intellectual minds. Throughout his lifetime he was invited by various Indian and foreign universities but he declined them as it was not his personal characteristics to be in public attention. In spite of all his accolades he always maintained a low profile and believed in Gandhian philosophy of life. He shall always be cherished for his simplicity and, a very practical and ideal attitude towards people, towards his work and towards his life.
