have shown that it was indeed Basukund near Vesali, the old Vaisali and I have followed both of them in my German book of 1935 about the Doctrine of the Jains.
I myself am busy in research too and I am going to send you some off points of the one or other articles of mine by ordinary mail.
Thanks to the kindess of Muni Caturavijaya, in 1932 and 1936 I received his Jaina stotra Sandoha, Vols. 1 and 2, a very valuable collection of which some gems I am studying just now. The publisher was Sarabhai Manilal Nawab, Ahmedabad. Do not know where my learned friend is living now, but I am sure that instead of him you will be so kind as to make enquiries whether or not further Vols. of the JSt. Sandoha have been published. And if so, to induce the publisher or someone else to send me one copy of each volume which would be duly paid, if necessary.
As to Dr. Tavadia, I am sorry to tell you that he died by an accident in July last (1955). With my best wishes and thanks in advance, I remain,
Yours sincerely, WALTHER SCHUBRING
Dr. Stcherbatsky Petearburg (Leningrad, U. S. S, R.)
