Vienna, 28th December 1956. TO MUNI SRI JAM BUVIJAYAJI MAHARAJ,
I thank gou so much for derding me some proof-sheets of your notes on Mallavodin's Nayacakrah. They were very interesting figo me as I spent a lot of time on this work late'y. I am convinced that the Jaina philosophy has not found get the appreciation it deserves, as the really important philosophical writings are not made known to this very day to a wider public. And the Nayacakrah of Mallavadi is certainly one of these works. Mallavadi is an original thinker of high rank and the commentary of Simhasurih contains a lot of material valuable for the history of Indian philosophy of the classical period. Unfortunately the editions which so far have appeared in print are unsatisfactory, the edition of Muni sri Cytur. vitaya ji in the Gaekwad Oriental Series as well as that of Vijayalabdhi Suri in the Labdhisurishuar Jain Granthamala. Therefore I was very pleased to learn that you are p eparing a new edition of this work. As far as I see, your notes in the proof-sheets correspond to pp. 76-105 of the edition in the Gaekwad Series. May I add a few remarks on the Buddhist fragments. The sentence Caksurvijnanasa mgi nilam vijanali LaginineAF ata faptaifa ] etc. is takın from the Vijednakà yah, Taisho 18saikyo No. 1539, p. 559 b 27 Ss. The source of the sentence sancitalanbanah pancavijnanakàyah Cergaretat: 99 fagra fitar :) is not known to me, but a similar sentence recurs in Vasubandhu's Abhidharmakosabhà syam 1 on verse 44 (samcità srayalambunatrāt pancavijnanakayanam). A number of quotations is taken from Dignaga's Pramanasamuccayak, 1 have also
