પૂજ્ય મુનિ જબ્રવિજયજી મહારાજ મહલવાદીપ્રણીત-દ્વાદશનયચક્રનું સંપાદન કરે છે. આ ગ્રંથ ત્રણ ભાગમાં થવા વકી છે. પ્રથમ ભાગ તૈયાર થઈ જવા આવ્યા છે અને થોડા વખતમાં પ્રસિદ્ધ થશે. આ ગ્રંથ જૈન અને અન્ય દર્શનો ઉપર નવીન પ્રકાશ પાડશે. તેને તૈયાર કરવા માટે મુનિશ્રીએ અથાગ મહેનત લીધી છે. તેમણે અંગ્રેજી, ટિબેટન વગેરે ભાષાઓને અભ્યાસ કરી તે ભાષાઓમાં આ ગ્રંથને લગતા ગ્રંથો વાંચ્યા છે એટલું જ નહીં પણ ઈંગ્લાંડ, અમેરિકા, ઈટલી, જાપાન વગેરે દેશના દર્શનAlana MMEL *Hi Bata W.

I recall in one of your last letters you spoke of some photographs or microfilms (I've forgotten which ) of portions of the Choni Kangur and Tanjur. Please let me know the details again and I shall straightway do what I can to assist you in satisfying your needs.
I do sincerely hope you will continue your generous benefactions to the Library of Congress of precious books on Jainism which have enriched our collections so much during the past few years. During my absence in India very nearly all the Gujarati volumes were catalogued and hence your many gifts of works in this language would have been included. You know, printed cards are made for all catalogued books in the Library's collections and these are available for sale throughout the world. In this way it is likely that numerous libraries everywhere will come to know of our growing collection of books on Jainism to which you have been so unstintingly contributing. I may add that it is only within the past two years that books in Hindi and Gujarati have been formally catalogued and cards printed for them.
First of all, I must congratulate you very warmly for the wide extent of your studies, and your eager work, which witnesses to your scholarship and high mental achievement. I particularly congratulate you for the publishing of the Nayacakra, which I hope to receive, it being of great interest indeed.
I have gone very carefully through all your remarks and comments. I think the reading you suggest is possible, and should account, especially as to ahrika; as to vaiyarthya, we have to suppose that there is a gap in the ms. However, I shall be glad to send you the proofs of my own work as soon as available, and shall welcome your suggestions and recommendations. It is a great advantage to discuss these difficult points with a Pandit of your learning, and this makes me all the more obliged for your having introduced yourself to me, by a letter so overflowing with friendly feelings.
