Paris, August 7th 1911.
Venerated Muni,
I am very much honoured and pleased with the letter which you were so kind as to write to me.
Your name is not unknown to me, and I am aware of it that you are the chief disciple of His Holiness Sri Vijaydharma Suri; as I have read the beginning of your edition of Ajitpra.bha's f uafiza in the Bibliotheca indica and I have spoken of you in the short account that I have given of “Yashovijaya Jaina-granthamalā” in the; "Journal Asiatique" Nov. Dec. 1910, p. 583. I am very grateful to you for being bound to me for any service in connection with Jainism.
At the same time with your letter, I received the HHEITTH in praise of the much venerated guru Sri Vijayadharma Suri. I shall be very glad also to receive the biographical sketch in English which you speak of. Then I shall be much pleased to utilise both, sanskrit and english relations, for a French notice that I shall willingly prepare, perhaps to be printed in the Journal Asiatique.
I am, Venerated Muni,
Yours very faithfully, DR. A. GUERINOT
P. S. Please give to His Holiness Sri Vijayadharma Suri the
short letter here inclosed my best thanks for it. Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
