of Kamalasamyama. This is in four volumes, the last of which appeared in 1933. This will insure Muniji's immortality as a scholar. In 1926 he published a Vihāravamana, which gave especial attention to the Jain population, temples, etc., of the places he had visited during his yearly itineraries. In 1929 appeared a grammatical work, Sidhāntamuktā, a commentary on Siddhāntaratnikāvyākaraņa, and in the same year came his first work on Mt. Ābu, a short account.
Hereafter, with the exception of a collection of axioms from the Trishashți., Hemchandrācharya-Vachanāmsta, all his published works deal with archaeological subjects. First among these is his series on Mt. Ābu, five volumes of which have been printed, one after his death. The first volume, Ābũ, came out in 1933, in both Hindi and Gujarāti. A third edition of this volume has been issued under the title Tirtharaja Abu as the first volume of a memorial scries to Muniji. The series was continued with vol. II, ArbudaPrachina-Jaina-Lekhasamdoha, 1938; vol. III, Achalagaạn, 1946; vol. IV, Arbudāchala -pradakshiņā; 1947; vol. V, Arbudachala - pradakshiņā- Jaina-Lekhasamdoha, 1949. There is a sixth part written, but not yet published. These volumes constitute the most exhaustive study of Ābu and its environs that has been made. . . .
Concurrently with this great series on Abu, Muniji published a number of works on other historical sites : Brāhmaṇavādā; Samkheshvaramahātirtha; Hammīragadh; Sammeta -shikharatirtha (a child's edition); and Upariyālatirtha, his last work. These are practical, as well as scholarly works, excellent guides for any one visiting these sites. In addition to these published books, Muniji left a number of unpublished archaeological works. These would be valuable additions to his series on the Jain Tirthas,
