17, Bendler Strasse, Berlin, W. 10,
November 24th, 1923. Dear Acharyaji,
Yesterday I got the following books, Vijayadharma's Grihastha-Dharma, Brahmacharya.Digdarshana, Jainatattvadigdarshana, Purusharthadigdashana, Indriyaparajaya Digdarshan, Ahimsa Digdarshan, Jainashikshadigdarshana; Nyayavijaya's Sandesha and Jaina-Darshana. I offer you my heartiest thanks for these very useful works.
I have gathered now the material I could find concerning Jaina Sects, but the information is very scanty. I take the liberty to send an abridged English translation of my notes to you. Please read them and send me corrections and supplements. You would oblige me very much by doing so, because it seems impossible with the materials, I have, to give a full account. Are the sects given in my list still in existence ? What is the Chaityavasi-Sect?
Concerning the pictures of the Kalpa Sutra Mr. Grote will write to you some days later. At present he is not in Berlin, but he will be back soon.
The German Grammer has been ordered, but I did not get it yet, I hope it will be possible to send it next week.
Professor Bloomfield (Baltimore) wrote to me that he is printing an article on the Shalibhadra Charita at present in the J.A.O.S. This is of the greatest interest for me, because I can compare it with the Gujarati version. Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
