163 If these works do exist in print, will you be so kind to supply them. If not can you have a copy prepared of the passages referred to in Abhidhana Rajendra.
Again, in Abhayadeva's commentary on Bhagvati, 6, 7 p. 246 I see that the word ali Samdaga fram is explained as 770776 97111: 792771 cart. Now what is the meaning of CHAVALAKA? I do not find it in any Kosha.
I have just finished this rewriting a note on the city of fagte mentioned in Uttaradhyayanasutra, 21—2, 3 which has led me to conclusions of some purpose about the antiquity of the Jain Sacred writings. I cannot forget that, if I am enabled to deal with Jain works, I owe it to our dear Master, who took care to provide me with a good stock of them. I find in my jain papers a leaf written by our lateMaharaj or by yourself giving a list of societies and press-works: printing and distributing jain books. Perhaps you will be good: enough to request them that they send me their lists of publications and whatever books they may distribute free. In order to save the expenses of foreign postage, these copies may be sent clo. my son Daniel, French Consul, Bombay, who will manage to have them forwarded here.
I hope you will excuse these greediness of Jain books. विद्यालोभ, I am sure, is no कषाय when it does not imply मात्सर्य nor Fratelli. My wife joins me in sending you our best greetings
SYLVAIN LEVI (10)
Tokio, 6 February 1927. My dear Suri,
I wonder you have not received the word I had sent you last August from my steamer while approching Colombo on my Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
