Schubring was unassuming in his manners but was effective in his teaching. He not only drew the respect and regard of his students by his vast learning but also imbibed in them a sense of urgency and devotion to the subject which they have elected for their study. And for this he was affectionately called by his students in Indian style Guru, and Guru he was in the real sense of the term.

Schubring died last year at the age of 87 suffering for a long time as a result of an accident he had unfortunately met with. His intellect was, however, keen to the last. While we regret the passing away of one who is regarded as the most learned man on Jainism outside India, we record our sincerest homage to the departed soul and hope that his life and work will inspire not only his direct disciples but others to the cause of Jainism which was dearest to his heart.
