This association was remarkable from the other point also.

As Kashmiri texts were to appear in press in course of time during 1921 to 1930, Grierson discussed every aspect of their minutest details from philological to linguistic nature and also those connected to their textual and historical context with Nityanand. However the pole star doubtless was Aurel Stein.

“Very many thanks for your letter of September 28 and for your full explanation you have been kind enough to give me about Indrakhi. Thanks also for the news about Sir Aurel Stein. I had not heard from him for a long time.” - Sir George Grierson.

“I am very glad to receive your letter of 22 nd July and to be assured by it that you are keeping good health. It reached me during my absence on a short holiday and as was very busy with writing work then too, I could not answer it immediately. May you kindly excuse this and also that for the sake of saving time I do not answer it in Sanskrit. I am to leave England on my return to Persia three weeks hence and am therefore kept exceedingly busy with preparations of all sorts and also getting a new book of mine through the press. I have seen Sir George Grierson and was very glad to see that he was keeping again in fair health in spite of his great age. I shall try to see him again before leaving for Persia and shall then deliver to him your greetings. As to myself, there may be a chance of returning to Kashmir for next summer. But this must depend on the course of my labours in Persia.” - Sir Aurel Stein.
