Etnografisk Museum. My dear Vijaya Indra Suri,
Many thanks for your kind letter and for sending me the third part of the Uitarādyayanasutra which was very wel. come. I was much pleased to learn that the Vira-TattvaPrakasaka.Mandala in Aourishing. I shall never forget the happy hours I was priviliged to spend there and the bright boys in the school. It is gratifying to know that the noble traditions of Jaina learning are so well kept up under your guidance. I trust that you will meet my friends Lüders, Schu. bring and Glasenapp during their stay in India. I think it is of importance that close personal relations should be establi. shed between India and Europe in this way. We need each other, if we shall be able to properly investigate the noble inheritance of the Aryans of India. We may think differently about many points, but we meet in the desire to investigate the enternal truth which the seers of old have realised.
With Praman from Mrs. Konow and myself and with all good wishes for you and your noble work,
Yours sincerely,
STEN KONOW www.umaragyanbhandar.com
