Oct. 1st 1911. Much revered Muni,
I am glad to acknowledge the receipt of the three books that you had the kindness to send me. Please accept my best thanks and the expression of my deep gratitude towards Muni Maharaj and you.
I have also found the manuscripts of the English biography of His Holiness Vijayadharma Suri. In this English paper and in the Sanskrit EHHEIT of Ratnavijaya Muniraj, I have now sufficient and clear matter for the French notice that I will write and which is to be published in one of the next numbers of the “Journal Asiatique".
I am returning to you, as registered book post, the foresaid English biography, and also the two french books asked by you viz:
Aśvaghosa, Sutrālamkāra, French translation.
Budhasvamin Brhat Kathā Sloka Samgraba, text and french transl. Fasc. I ( only Published-I shall send you the other fasc. when edited).
The price inclusive postage is 16s. 60.
It is said in Muni Maharaj's English biography, that the digdarsanas (farza) written by him in Hindi are to be trans. lated into English in a short time. I shall be very glad and grateful to you if you will send me a copy of those translations.
The Kavya edited by you and containing the biography of AFHAIR af has a great interest for me. I find in it precious matter for my "Alphabetical Index of Jaina authors and works"
