May God bless the author (Prof. Chandra) with hundred years life and make him instrumental in leading a team of scholars to bring out the most authentic editions of Acaranga and Sutrakṛtānga, etc.

Dear Professor Chandra,
I have received your book 'Restoration of the Original Language of Ardhamāgadhi Texts' and have had the pleasure of appreciating your single-minded scholarly quest. Your study of variants of a few Ardhamāgadhi words from the Acārānga and some of the words from old Ardhamāgadhi texts will go a long way in resolving difficult issues of linguistics and in achieving greater editorial coherence and textual understanding of canonical literature. The praise showered on your work by Pt. Dalsukhbhai Malvaniya and Prof. Bhayani is eloquent testimony of its high quality. I send you my hearty congratulations and good wishes.
