Having won so many laurels in his own country by virtue of ceaseless pursuits in the field of Oriental learning, Pandit Malvania has now made a debut on the international plane. In inviting him to serve the University of Toronto as the Professor of Indian Philosophy, Prof. Worder of that University has said that from whatever he has known of Pandit Malvania and his contribution to the study of various branches of Indian Philosophy, particularly the Jaina and Buddhist philosophies, he reckons him to be one of the most outstanding scholars in this field and hence the choice of the University of Toronto has fallen on him.
In response to the invitation extended by the University of Toronto Pandit Malvania has left for Canada on January 2, 1968. This recognition of his unique attainments is a matter of great gratification to his three Gurus and a wide circle of friends. He has established without doubt his claim to be reckoned and recognised as the fourth great Pandit in the line of the illustrious Trio.
