JAINA GAZETTE.
[October
Jainism. We have slept enough. Let us awake and rise to do the needful. Let us get catalogues of all Jain and Government libraries in India. Let us prepare an authentic list of all Jain granthas available in India, supply copies of ráre books to all Jain libraries and complete those which are incomplete whenever possible. The Swetambar Conference and the Jain Sidhanta Bhavan Arrah have already done something in this direction. The Bharat Jain Mahamandal will be glad to help them in all that is necessary in this direction, provided our rich men help the institution with money. We hope and trust that on occasions of charity they will not forget this important work in future.
I am much indebted for the matter of this note to Pandit Jugal Kishore of Deoband.
