I don't know again, whether it is against Indian etiquette or not, if I want to have your photograph sent, when I cannot find any in the books. written by you and found in your book list. I want to have one in my room, so that I may be able to make smarana for your kindness and teaching about every. thing (I am waiting for your answer or a kind correction if necessary).
About the books of Budhism, edited in Japan I will write in my next letter. भगवत आचार्यस्य पादाभ्यां नमस्कृत्य

same day.
My dear Acharya,
The books of your present have arrived at last today and I am very happy to have so many valuable materials for my study. Please take my thousand thanks for your kindness.
I hope this kindness of yours will bear fruit and my Japanese traaslation of some Jaina texts appear in the academic circles of Japan some day.
Now Shri Haribhadra's Brihatvritti on Dasvaikalika is waiting for my use on my desh with the laghuoritti etc. I am so glad.
My students are learning very delightly and can read Ardhamagadhi pretty well. In some years our seminar will become a centre of Jain research in Japan. I hope so.
I will write to Prof. Schubring about your kindness and the general consulate in Bombay a thank letter for fheir services. Vandanam
