लेश्या-कोश पर विद्वानों की सम्मति
प्रज्ञाचक्षु पं० सुखलालजी संघवी, अहमदाबाद लेश्या-कोश के प्रारम्भिक ३४ पृष्ठों को पूरा सुन गया हूँ। अगला भाग अपेक्षा के अनुसार ही देखा है। पर उसका पूरा ख्याल आ गया है। प्रथम तो यह बात है कि एक व्यापारी फिर भी अस्वस्थ तबियतवाला इतना गहरा श्रम करे और शास्त्रीय विषयों में पूरी समझ के साथ प्रवेश करे यह जैन समाज के लिए आश्चर्य के साथ खुशी का विषय है। आपने कोशों की कल्पना को मूर्त बनाने का जो संकल्प किया है वह और भी आश्चर्य तथा आनन्द का विषय है। इतना बड़ा भारी जवाबदेही का काम निर्विघ्न पुरा हो- यही कामना है।
Dr. A. N. UPADHYA, M. A. D. Litt., Shivaji University Kolhapur.

"I am very grateful to you for your sending me a copy of your book Lesya Kosa. I have read a goodly portion of it and am deeply impressed by yeur meihodical work on an important topic of Lesya in Jain Philosophy. All students of Jain Literature and Philosophy would surely be grateful to you for your having placed in their hand a work of tremendous utility.”
Dr. SUNITI KUMAR CHATTERJEE, National Professor of India, Calcutta.
"I am not a student of Philosophy, much less of Jain Philosophy. But I have learnt a lot from your work which is very thorough study, with a wealth of quotations from both Prakrita and Sanskrita, on the concept of Lesya. This, as it would appear, is not known in Brahmanical and Buddhistic philosophy. I did not know anything about it before I got your book. This as it would
appear from your study, is a vary important concept in Jain PhiloJain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only
