  • “To historical scholarship, Aristanemi is still a part of proto-history : but to the devoted Jainas, as also to Mrs. Kremser, from whose pen we received a poem which appears in this issue, he is as much a historical personality, nay, a living reality, as Parsva and Mahavira.”
  • “Ghora Angirasa, according to the Buddhist monk Dharmananda Kausambi, is no other than the Jaina Tirthankara Aristanemi.”
  • “According to his decipherment, it reveals that ‘the said king Nebuchadnazzar who is also the lord of Rewanagar (in Kathiawar) and who belongs to Su-(Sumer) tribe has come to the place (Dvaraka) of the Yaduraja. He has built a temple and paid homage and made the grant perpetual in favour of Lord Nemi, the paramount deity of Mt. Raivata.’”
