[INDOLOGY] Who is Sumati

[Matthew Kapstein]

Following further on Viktoria Lysenko's query and Jay Soni's helpful response,
I note that several other Hindi works on Jain philosophy take up the
problem of Sumati as well. 

These include:

कैलाशचन्द्र शास्त्री , जैन न्याय (Bharatiya Jnanpith Prakashan 1966), pages 25, 151

धर्मचन्द्र जैन , बौद्ध प्रमाण मीमांसा की जैन दृष्टि से समीक्षा (Varanasi 1995) pages 27, 30, 45, 62-3, 66

For the most part, these just review what can be gleaned from TS and TSP, and include, too, the
same references already given by Jay Soni. The former clarifies, though, that the "the eulogy of Malliṣeṇa" 
is from an inscription found at Sravanabelgola, with full citation and references to the published text of the
inscription in question.
