क्रिया - कोश पर प्राप्त समीक्षा
Prajnachakshu Pandit Sukhlal D. Litt., Ahmedabad,
After Kesya-Kosa I have received your Kriya-Kosa, thanks I have heard the Editorial, Forward, Preface in full and certain portions thereafter. I am surprised to find such dilligence such concentration and such devotion to learning. Particularly so because such person is rarely found in business community who dedicates himself to learning like a BRAHMIN.
Dr. Adinath Neminath Upadhya D. Litt. Shivaji University, Kolhapur.
I am in receipt of the copy of the 'Kriya-Kosa' so kindly sent by you. It is a remarkable source book which brings in one place so systematically, the references and extracts which shed abundant light on the usage of the term Kriya in Jainism. The Kosas that are being brought out by you will prove of substantial help to the future compliation of an encyclopaedia on Jainism I shall eagerly look forth to the publication of your DHYAN KOSA.
With felicitations on your scholarly achievements
Dr. P. L. Vaidya, D. Litt Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, Poona-4.
I am very grateful to you for your sending me a copy of your Cyclopaedia of Kriya. I have read a few pages already and find it as useful as your Lesya Kosa. Please do bring out similar volumes on different topics of Jain Philosophy, of course, this may not bring you any material wealth, but I am sure students of Jain Literature will surely bless you for having offered them a real help in their study
Prof. Hiralal Rasikdas Kapadiya, Surat Bombay.
