DEAR SIR,
Shri Jain Conference Herald.
Bonn, 9-8-07. Niebuhrstrasse 59.
Yours of 19th July at hand.
I am very sorry on because of your disappointment concerning the examination. but I hope that you will better succeed next time. For the information about Haribhadra contained in your letter I give you my best thanks. For though I am not convinced that you are right, still I admit that my arguments also are not concluding. I shall therefore duly weigh all arguments pro and contra. There is the ominous blank of three centuries; the question is, did it really exist or is it only apparent caused by the chronological arrangement of those who handed down the historical records. I expect much new light from the न्यायावतार of सिद्धसेन दिवाकर, and shall therefore be obliged to you, if you will kindly send me the work as soon as it will be out. I shall also thank you for writing out the passages in संज्ञाधिकार and लेश्याधिकार in which as you say for gives us to understand that Haribhadra is an authority.
You will have received by this time a copy of my "Au sgewahlte Erzahluz in Maharastri, and perhaps also of my edition of the Kalpa Sutra of Bhadrabahu, which I have asked the publishers to send you.
By good luck I recovered a copy of my edition and German translation of the Kalakacarya Kathanakam which I send to-day together with another small paper by book post. With kind regards, I am yours sincerely, H. JACOBI.
BHAVNAGAR.
