  • “The phonetical analysis presented above reveals that the retention of medial consonants is 55% in the MJV. edition of Muni Shri Jambuvijayaji, 44.5% in the edition of Prof. Jacobi and 18.5% in that of Prof. Schubring.”
  • “Hence this study clearly brings out that Prof. Schubring has converted the original ArdhamagadhI of the oldest and senior 3vetambara canonical works into the Maharastrl Prakrit of the time of Devardhigani of the 5th-6th century A.D.”
  • “Thus on the whole Jacobi's edition of the Acarahga is linguistically far reliable than that of Schubring. The MJV. edition is still far better because it has been edited on the basis of a large number of Mss. of the text, its curm and other exegetical works on it and additionally the Mss. material belonging to dates earlier than that could be available to Schubring and Jacobi.”
