Hirjee Bombay viz Samavaya, Sthanaga 1st Part, Bhaga. vati 1st and 2nd Parts, Inatadharmakatha 1st Part, Prashnavyakarana, and Oghaniryukti. You would oblige me very much by sending me further volumes, if printed, as they are of great value for our studies here. I learn from Berlin that they have got there copies of Nirayavalika and Antakrddasha. Have the Select Essays in Jainism to which about 14 years ago, I sent a little contribution "On the Results of critical Research into the Siddhanta" already been printed ? When going over my copy of this essay, I found a very annoy. ing fault on p. 20, line 8. Owing to a blunder of the copyist, there stands "sinthfulness" what is nonsense, for "truthfulness' what is intended. Please have it corrected at once and let hope that nobody will have been offended by that misleading word.
The Mss. of Parshvanathastavana etc. will be returned in due time. It is interesting to see, how well the old authors of them were acquainted with the rules on Prakrit grammar laid down by Hemachandra and others. I remain, dear Acharya,
Yours faithfully, W. SCHUBRING
