8th century and found Kamalasila's Logic to be more powerful than that of the Chinese Philosopher. He accordingly placed the garland of victory in the Indian Philosopher's neck. From that time the Tibetans became the followers of Kamalasila. Kindly inquire what works Kamalasila wrote so that I may verify the same. I do not know if Jainism flourished in China and if it was taken there.
Acharya Kamalasila's are said to exist in the Jeypore Library and the Bhoswals know of it.
Yours sincerely,

MY DEAR SIR,
I beg to acknowledge your favour of the 12th December with your printed Circular. Very few people can and will answer the queries which you have drawn from one and single Journal, the Oriental. The books. of the Northern Buddhists are replete with references to the six Tirthika Teachers. I am glad to notice from the Circular that the Oriental has also noticed the same from the Southern Buddhist works. The attention of the Jain Itihas Society of which you seem to be the prime-mover should be drawn to the investigation of the historical developments of Jain Dharma. What was it in Buddha's time? Why do the Brahmans speak so adversely of Jainism?
