Anuvrat Paramarshaka Muni Nagarajaji has shown me the pageproofs of the first volume of his work entitled "Agama Aura Triipitaka : Eka Anus ilana."
The subject is one of great interest and importance. From what I have seen and what the Muni has told me about his plan for the entire work, his method of handling the material, his attitude towards his subject and his approach to his task, I expect the completed study to contain the vast amount of new and independent scholarship. As far as my own information goes, this is the first attempt by an adherent to either of the great faiths being treated to compare them in a thorough way. What is even more promising in my view is that the Muni speaks of both Jainism and Buddhism in a manner that promises objectivity in his study as well as exactitude and balanced judgement.
