F.W. THOMAS-The Flower-spray of the Quodammodo Doctrine, or the Syadvädamanjari of Sri Mallisenasūri, translated and annotated with index etc. Deutsche Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin Institut fur Orientforschung, Veroffentlichung Nr. 46. 21 x 30 cms. Pp. 1-176. Akademie-Verlag, Berlin, 1960.
This is an authoritative and systernatic English translation with annotations in foot-notes of the Syādvadmañjari (of Mallisena-sūri) which is a learned and concise Sanskrit commentary on the Ahyayogavyavacchedikā of Hemacandra. After the sad demise of the author it is seen through the press by Edward CONZE who observes thus in his Prefatory Note: 'It not only throws much light on the philosophical views of the Jains themselves but also on the philosophical debates so popular in the Indian Middle Ages. Prof. THOMAS planned this work as a sequel and complement to the Pravacanasāra, published by the Jain Literary Society in Cambridge in 1935, and he devoted so much of his time to it because he had a high opinion about the intrinsic value of the Jain position, which in his view compared favourably with the so much better known tenets of the Vedānta and Mādhyamakas'.
