Paris, 13th November 1924.
My very dear friend,
It is a very long time, too long time since I heard last of you. My son the French Consul could not give me any information about your doings and dealings, as he had himself no letter from you. I hope this will find you in good health and full activity. I had sent you through my son a reprint of a paper contributed to the ‘Journal Asiatiqua' on the NATYA DARPANA the work you have so kindly dispatched for my study and which proved so full of interesting informations. It was a nice opportunity to pay a public homage to our late Maharaja. I had requested my son to prepare an English translation of this homage for your perusal, I know that he had prepared it and I suppose that you have received it long ago. I shall be obliged to hear that you have approved what I say about this great man, a saint and a scholar and a loving friend too.
I am today in great need of your kind help for informations. I have been these last weeks working on “diet" on Jain and Buddhist dicipline. I happened to meet the word fafara Bhilinga fufort ge and looked for it in the Abhidhana Rajendra. Here I find reference to works I do not possess, I do not even know if they have been printed, viz:
PANCASAKA SATIKA पंचाशक सटीक KALPASUBODHIKA कल्पसुबोधिका PRAVACANA SARODHARA प्रवचन सारोद्धार
DHARMASANGRAHA धर्म संग्रह Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
