world period of Degeneration which Jaina dogmatic assumes. 72. Vide N. 2 above; re Mallavādin vide infra, Item 8; Sanmati
tarka, 1.1., p. 10. 73. Sanmatitarka, p. 3, Note 2. 74. Sanmatitarka, p. 3 f. 75. This important item is quoted from a letter of Pt. S. Sanghavi
dated 21st February 1944 : it is hoped that the details will soon be made generally known. Vide also the now antiquated
