My dear Vijaya Indra Suri;
Very many thanks for kindly sending me the Chandra" prabhā which I did not know in beforehand. We knew that Hemachandra's sanskrit grammar takes a high rank in Indian grammatical literature, but the Chandraprabha has not, so far as I am aware, been previously known in Europe and it is soon to be received with keen interest by European scholars. I should further like to congratulate you on the settlement of the Satrunjaya trouble. It was sad to think of your difficulties and all your friends were happy to hear that you had been able to arrange the matter peacefully and I hope, in a quite satisfactory way. I am now approaching the conclusion of my edition of the Khrosthi inscriptions, where with the Kalakacryakathanka has been of great help to me.
With all good wishes and kindest regards,
Yours sincerely, STEN KONOW

My dear Jainacharya;
Very many thanks for kindly sending me the lectures of Dr. Charlotte Krause, which I have read with great intrest. It seems to me as if nothing is more calculated to opening the eyes
of the world to the intrinsic value of the able teachings of the Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
