Of the latter, I only know one chapter the so called Suyahilan uppatti (Srutahilanotpatti) do you know a complete manuscript of the Vaggculiya (also called Vanggaculiya ) which could be borrowed for my use ? Hoping you are in good health, believe me, Dear Suri and friend, to be yours faithfully,

Hamburg 13, September 6th 1927. Dear Suri,
Your letter of 3rd August duly to hand. I am glad to learn that you now stay in Bombay, and I hope to meet you there about the middle of November. Later on, I shall not fail to visit Shivpuri, when you have returned there. It is too early now to give a detailed programme of my journey, but it is my intention to see some centres of both Shvetambara and Digambara Jainism in several parts of India, and you would oblige me very much by introducing me at the one place or the other by a few lines. The details may be arranged in Noveber. As for the present, I want to say that in my studies of Jaina texts I specially intend to exmaine Mss. and such texts as belong to the Agama in a somewhat wider circuit, as Angavjja, Angachuliya, Vaggachuliya (sometimes called Uvangachūlia or Vangachulia), Viyahachuliya and many others. Of Agama texts, Mahanisiha and Painnas with commentary would be of great value, as I intend to publish the former one, and as a pupil of mine is working at some of the latter ones. It would be a very great help for me if you would kindly look for good and old Mss. of the named works and either borrow them for me or inform me where they can be Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
