“......I must congratulate you on the fact that this magnificient work is nearing completion. It has been of great use to me in my studies of Jain Prakrit, and the only work with which I can compare it is Raja Radhakant Deb's famous Sanskrit Sabda-Kalpadruma " (when the last volume was in the press )
"The Encyclopaedia is of great value as a work of reference and also for the study of Jain Prakrit."
Prof. Sylvain Levi-University of Paris :
After 5 years of Abhidhan Rajendra's continuous perusal, I 640 affirm that no rcal Indologist can dispense with a copy of this wonderful work. In its special compass, it surpasses even that jewel of lexicography, the Petersburg Dictionary. Here we have not only a complete register of words warranted by references and quotations, but a full survey of thoughts, beliefs, legeads lying beyond the words. Whatever is the matter I happen to deal with. I begin with consulting my Rajendra and I never fail to get some useful information. Shall we ever have anything alike in the field of Brahmanism and Buddhism ?
Prof. Siddheshwar Varma, M. A.-Professor of Sanskrit, Prince of Wales College, Jammu Kashmir )
“The Abhidhân Rajendra in my opinion is a colossal work which reflects credit on Indian industry and scholarship. A special feature of the work is the rich bibliographical material hitherto absolutely unknown to the world,"
