(14) Kuvalayamālā Kahā of Uddyotanasuri: an important Prakrit Katha text (under publication).
Texts Nos. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 14 are edited and rescued for the first time.
Dr. Upadhye has also acted as General Editor and organised the work of (a) the Jivaraja Jaina Granthamala, Sholapur, and (b) the Juanapitha Murtidevi Jaina Granthamālā, Banaras; and as Editor-in-cooperation of the Jaina Siddhanta Bhaskara and Jaina Antiquary, and of the magnum opus religious text of the Digambara school, viz., the Satkhandagama with the Dhavala, of which Dr. Hiralal is the Editor. His literary work has been punctuated by diversionary activity in the form of about one hundred papers on problems of Prakrit. Sanskrit and Apabhraisa literary history and Indian culture contributed to various research Journals.
The plan of this practical Bibliography of his writings is as follows. In the First Section an account is given of the edited texts. Each text is described and introduced with a detailed Table of Contents, followed by extracts of Select Opinions and Reviews of the same. In the Second Section a full list of the author's Papers is given, noting the title, the name of the Journal or Volume where it was published with full reference, and also indicating the nature of its contents. In the Third Seetion we have a list of Reviews of more than fifty books contributed by Dr. Upadhye to various Journals which shows how he has been keeping himself abreast of the work of others ploughing a field which is kindred to his own.
All this work is his achievement, in addition to the teaching work at the Rajaram College, Kolhapur, which as the quiet congenial corner (nida) for his creative activity deserves mention. Well did Carlyle say: 'Blessed is he who has got his life's work: let him ask for no other blessedness.' Dr. Upadhye asks for no other blessedness.
Dr. Upadhye, as a professor, has trained himself in the discipline of making the best use of his summer and winter vacations. He loads them with strenuous labour and extracts from them a fruitful harvest. He seems to suck joy from this hobby, which is but another name for svantaḥ sukhāya application, or
