  • Legends and Folklore from the Panjab: Stories and customs from the region, including the legend of Shah Daula and the "Chuhas" (Rat-Children).
  • Ancient Indian History: Information on the Pala Dynasty of Bengal, the history of the Nellore District, and inscriptions from various regions.
  • Religious Practices and Beliefs: Discussions on sectarial marks, superstitions related to dwellings, and pilgrimage stamps.
  • Linguistic Studies: A primer on Dravidian Phonology, and an exploration of Tibetan historical songs.
  • Archaological Notes: Dr. Aurel Stein's explorations in Central Asia.
  • The Arthasastra of Chanakya: A translation of Books V-XV.
  • Miscellaneous: Articles on the meaning of "Brahman," a Greek cemetery near Attock, and a discussion on the existence of tobacco in India in 1600.

If you have any other texts or information that is specifically related to Jainism, I would be happy to try and summarize them for you.
