In Jaina Sahitya Samsodhaka (vol. II, No. 1, pp. 81-91), July 1923 we have an article in Gujarāti entitled as प्रो. ल्युमन अने आवश्यकसूत्र. Herein it is said that Prof. Leumann had commenced publishing in Abhandlungen für die Kunde des Morgenlandes, his work Die Avashyaka Erzahlungen ; but he let it go after about 50 pages were printed as he could not get the necessary Mss. of bhāsya, cürņi, tikā, etc. In 1894 he prepared a paper on Āvaśyaka and its literature to be read at the International Oriental Congress. This paper he has published in so pages. Herein he has first of all pointed out the place assigned to Avaśyaka by the:Svetām baras and the Digambaras. This is followed by the summary of the nijjutti, some of the special features of the cürņi and those of Haribhadra Süri's ţikā on Āvassayasutta, an exposition of Visesāvassayabhāsa, etc. In the end he has given photo-prints of some of the worn-out leaves of Silānka Súri's commentary on it. Some of the proofs of this publication seem to have been sent by the late Prof. Leumann to the late Dr. Bhandarkar. They are to be found in his collection at B. O. R. I.
After these remarks, Jinavijaya and K. P. Modi, the writers of this article have given from the above-mentioned publication the names of the 11 Gañadharas and mentioned their doubts and have reproduced quotations from the non-Jaina sources like the Upanişad etc. with their original sources where possible'.-a very praiseworthy attempt on the part of the late Prof. Leumann.
