STUDIES IN BUDDHIST AND JAINA MONACHISM
But for the enormous amount of work done in the field of Buddhist and Jaina studies by European and modern Indian scholars that this humble attempt of mine could not have been completed in time. Worthy of mention among the Buddhist scholars whose learned works in various forms opened the field for Buddhist ecclesiastical studies are Prof. H. Oldenberg, Prof. H. Kern, Prof. M. Winternitz, Prof R. S. Hardy, Prof. Rockhill, Mr. and Mrs. Rhys Davids, I. B. Horner, Dr. B. G. Law, Mahāpandita Rahula Sanksityāyana, Drs. N. Dutt, S. Dutt, and the like. Among European scholars whose scholarly contributions to Jaina studies are very helpful for Jaina monastic studies are Col. Mackenzie, George Buhler, Prof. H. Jacobi, Mrs. S. Stevenson, Dr. W. Schubring and several others. Among modern Indian scholars whose valuable works proved of much help for the purpose are Muni Jinavijayaji, Pt. Kalyāņavijaya Gani, Prof. H. R. Kapadia, Dr. P. L. Vaidya, Dr. A. N. Upadhye, Dr. H. L. Jain, and the remarkable work of Dr. S. B. Deo and others.
