UNO: JAINA STUDIES IN JAPAN
177
Though I feel rather presumptuous to add some works of mine to the works of such eminent scholars, I have done so far Japanese translations of Vitarāgastuti of Hemacandra (together with some parts of Syāduādamañjari), Pravacanasāra, Pañcāstikāyasāra and Sarvadarśanasamgraha (Third Chapter) and three treatises on Relation between Jiva and Ajiva, Karma Theory of Jainismand Nayavāda (Jaina logic). Only the first translation and the latter treatises were published in the Journal of Indian and Buddhist Studies. I am fully aware of my humble service to Jainology. I hope they will be welcomed by Jaina scholars.
I give a tentative list of works published so far by Japanese scholars, which will be helpful to Indian scholars. 1. Jaina Sacred Books (Jainakyoseiten) by J. Suzuki, 1920, pages
242, containing : Japanese translation of Tattvārthādhigama Sūtra with explanatory notes; Japanese translation of Yoga Sāstra with foot-notes; Japanese translation of Kalpa Sūtra with foot-notes.
2. Studies of Indian Philosophy, 1970.
Vol. II contains 'On the six heretical schools' by Dr. H. Ui. Vol. III contains 'On the sixtytwo heretical schools' by Dr. H. Ui.
3. History of Spiritual Civilisation of Ancient India by Dr. E.
Kanakura, 1939. Chapter X gives brief history and doctrine of Jainism along with concise introduction of the works done by European and Indian scholars in this field, especially based on Angas.
4. Study of Indian Spiritual Civilisation (subtitled 'The Study of
Jainism') by Dr. E. Kanakura, 1940. pages 560. Chap I Present Condition of Jainism. Chap II The Significance of Jaina Studies. Chap III Jaina Teachings of Umasvati. Chap 1 History of Jainism. Chap V On the Theory of Knowledge of Jainism. Chap VI Some Aspects of Jaina Philosophy. Chap VII Jaina Logic. Chap VIII Dharmakirti's Pramanavārtikaand Jaina Teaching.
