Muni Shri Jambuvljayaji Shri Jain Atmanand Sabha, Khargate BHAVNGAR (Gujart, India)
Dear and respected Muni Shri Jambuvijayaji,
It is with extreme gratitude that I received a copy of volume 2 of your magni. ficent edition of Mallavadin's Dvadasaram nayachkram. As Document of philosophical thought as well as a source for our knowledge of the early bistory of Indian philosophy, thistext deserves our keen interest, and it is Particularly gratifying that it has been ediled by you in such a careful and competent manner.
Since I take a special interest in the Vaisesika system, Ara 7 with its many references to lost Vaisesika works is of special value for me. I had already utilized the excerpts given as an appendix to your critical edition of the Vaisesika sutras, but it is of course very good and important that the complete chapter has now been made Available.
There can be no doubt that you have done a lasting service to the scholarly world,
With many thanks and best wishes,
Yours sincerely Dr. Wilhelm Halbfass Associate Professor of Indian Philosophy
