PROF. P. V. RAMANUJASWAMI, Vizianagaram: 'Let me congratulate you on the production of a learned and critical essay on the most important of Apabhramśa writers. I was wondering till now what the source of Hemachandra's verse could be. I am very grateful to you and every lover of Prakrit must similarly be.'
Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society (January 1940): Professor Upadhye's splendid achievement seems to meet all the demands that might be made by any one who wishes to study the work in close connection with literary and historical facts. It is also carried out in an impartial scientific spirit that is truly admirable, and it has valuable indexes.'
Oriental Literary Digest (November 1938): To conclude, this edition can be said to have struck a new and model line of study of ancient Indian philosophical works with a broad angle of vision. It is practically for the first time that Jaina Mysticism receives attention from a devout student of philosophy.'
