refers to Buddha Sakyamuni and even mentions the Sarvästivada and Mahasamghika seots of Buddhism. Is it possible that the author whom you have in mind is thinking of the numerous other Mathura inscriptions which are Jain published by Dr. Bühler in Epigraphia Indica, Vol. I. But even in these there is no mention of Nahapāna.
As to the relation between Nahapana and Bhumaka Professor Rapson declares in his catalogue of indian Coins : Andhras etc. (p, CVIII) that Bhūmaka preceeded Nahapana but that the relation between them, is unknown. Many scholars hold that Bhúmaka was identical with Y samotika, the father of Chastana, (see Professor Konow, Kharaoshthi Insoriptions, p. LXX Nahapana would thus have been centemporary with Chashtana..........
I am interested to know that you are studying Asoka. There is no important new publication concerning him. The last work of fundamental importance is Prof. Hultzsch's edition.........even that was not very rich in new matters. I have not seen Dr. Tribhuvandas' Gujarati book : but I cannot accept his theory.
I have written to a friend in Upsala concerning the Uttaradhyayana manuscript and I will report to you the result.
I shall inform you when the plan of my Indian visit is mature. In the mean while I look forward with pleasure to our meeting.
With very kind regards,
Yours sincerely, F. W. Thomas.

સપ્ટેમ્બર ૭, ૧૯૩૭. હારા વહાલા મિત્ર,
તમારી ઉપર ફરીવાર પર લખતાં મને ઘણે આનંદ ઉપજે છે. આપને પત્ર નહિ લખવાથી લાગતી હારી બેદરકારીથી મને ઘણું દુઃખ થાય છે. અને હું આશા રાખું છું
