20-01-2000 Dear Dr. Mrs. Aruna Lattha
I am happy to learn that your Ph.D. thesis on the Āgamic Text Marana-Samādhi will be shortly published. Yours will be the first full-length study of that important work that prescribes voluntary mode of death according to the Jain tradition. Your comparative notes relating to this theme in the other religious and non-religious traditions would provide a large perspective.
I sincerely hope your research work in the area of the Jain Āgams will continue.
With best wishes,
Yours sincerely
S/d. H. C. Bhayani
