Without any further dilation, I may add that this idiosyncrasy to which some of the *Digambaras* seem to have fallen a prey-the view that the lamp of the *Jaina* canon ceased to burn and illuminate from *Vīra Saṃvat* 683 or so is a thing I shudder at. It has deprived us of the valuable legacy we could have got, by way of the preservation of at least some part or parts of the *Jaina* canon and its enrichment by way of its exposition at the hands of eminent *Digambara* scholars like *Akalaṅka* and others.
