But Brother Champat Rai is a prolific writer on Jainism. To me it seems that though workers in the same field, our methods and view points and handling of the subjects differ so that even if we write on the same topic and deal with the same book, there is really no duplication, although some repetition is unavoidabic from the nature of things.
The translations in the book under Review are from the Proofs. I feel complimented at their reproduction and heartily approve of it, because there is no sense in giving different translations for the sake of difference merely.
The real and very valuable contribution of Brother Champat Rai is the way in which he has handled the Personal Law of Jainas in pp. 25 to 106, which is really the book itself. This portion is lawyer-like. It is readable and supplies a want which remained unsupplied in my book. This work is well done and will be appreciated both by laymen and lawyers.
The Appendix, the General Index and Index of Slokas and Gathas are very useful.
The get-up of the book is simply First Class. It compares well with, indeed holds its own. against, the best work of London Publishers. My beloved Brother. C. S. Mallinath, who is one of the most energetic and valuable workers in Jainism, deserves all credit for it and the gratitude of all for giving such an admirable garb to such valuable matter,-). L. Jaini.
