entitled The Salibhadra Caritra, a story of conversion to Jaina monkhood The work is by the famous Pradyumnacharya (Pradyumna Suri) written in high Mahakavya style. It exhibits not only Jain religion in its highest aspects, but also Jain literary activity in its very best form. I shall send you a copy promptly when it is through the press, and I doubt not that you will be interested.
Please remember me kindly as a friend and co-worker in the course of your self abnegating religious activities and believe me ever ready to help you to propagate the spirit of the Tirthankaras and their devoted successors.
With kind personal regards, I am,
Your friend,
