पुद्गल-कोश
पूर्वाध के दोनों खण्डों के टाइप भी इतने सुधड़-मनोरंजन नहीं है। तृतीय खंडों को देखकर पूरा संतोष होता है। सामग्री का चयन तीनों खण्डों का उत्तम है।
गेटप भी तृतीय खण्ड पौछले दोनों खण्डों से बहुत सुन्दर है। श्रीचंदजी इस कार्य में भगीरथ प्रयत्न किया है ।
-जिनेश मुनि
.. इसमें वर्धमान तीर्थङ्कर के च्यवन से परिनिर्वाण तक का बड़े तलस्पर्शी ढंग से संकलन हुआ है। कोश बड़ा रोचक बन पड़ा है।

This is an age of systematic enquiry and research. So, when a scholar undertakes the study of a particular topic, he does not rest satisfied with a single source or version handed down to him by traditions, literary. epigraphical or oral. Whereas a simple believer would not question the authority of the scriptures or traditions he puts his faith in the modern investigator would try to explore all the sources relating to the subject under study, and examine thoroughly all the aspects and relevant details connected with it. This unbounded spirit of enquiry and tendency to a comprehensive methodical approach have been greatly faeilitated by the discovery, publication or availability and specialised studies of the diverse source material related to almot every subject or branch of learning which may arouse the interest of a scholar. There is thus now no dearth of source material of various kinds and categories on almost any topic which is sought to bo investigated. This is itself, however, makes the task of the researcher much more arduous and time-consuming. And, herein lies the importance of different kinds of refrence books which render his task comparatively easy and smooth. Topical dictionaries constitute a very valuable class of such reference books.
