I am still engaged in work of inscriptions and chronology and as I told you when we met, I am convinced that the Jain tradition is in many respects more reliable than other Indian traditions. Professor Jacobi told me some time ago that he has found another copy of the Kalakachirya Kathanaka which contains some new details which may prove to be of importance. He shares my faith in Jaina tradition and I am happy to know that I am in agreement with him, because no European scholars know Indian tradition better than he.
Mrs. Konow joins me in sending her Pranam with all good wishes for you and for the advance of your noble religion,
Yours sincerely, STEN KONOW

Oslo, Norway, 7. 2. 27.
Etnografisk Museum. My dear Vijayendra Suri;
It gave me great pleasure to hear from you again, and also to receive the second volume of the Uttaradhyayana Sutra for which I beg to thank you most cordially. In the copy which you have been good enough to send me of the पाइअसहमहणवो. I notice that the pages U34-084 are missing so that all the words after fiul and before gaut are absent. The pages &x4-682 have instead been inserted twice. Would it be possible to get the missing, or should I send you my copy of part III and get it exchanged ? I am still engaged in work on Indtan Inscriptions for the Government, and the Dictionary is often of great use in settling the answering of difficult Prakit words, so that it is a great nuisance that a portion is missing.
