came to India; when I could pay him a respectful visit, though I found him already dying, I found before my eyes the very man I had been dreaming of the real type of a MUNI, inspite of his physical pains, he welcomed me with a degnified and sweet smile I never forget nor shall I ever forget the noble words I heard from his mouth, this magnificent explanation of the sloka a afta proclaiming the duty of tolerance, respect, sympathy, kindness to any creed or opinion of good faith. As a scholar, he was simply wonderful, though he could spare only a little of his time for study. No name can stand higher in the record of the Jain community.
You will be about to celebrate his remembrance work on the 1st February, my letter will, I hope come in due time to tell you that I join in the commemmoration and that I shall dedicate this say to his memory.
Please give my best remembrance to your brother diciples and believe me,
Very sincerely yours,
SYLNAIN LEVI
