Prof. Tripathi's published output in both Hindi and Sanskrit is vast, and covers many aspects of Buddhism, from Theravada Abhidhamma, to Sautrantika, Yogacara and Madhyamaka philosophy, and Tantra. His students, all over the world, are too many to count; he taught very generously both in his official capacities (Sampūrṇānanda Sanskrit University, Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies) and privately.

He never said no to any serious learner of Buddhism; nor did he ever let his students feel that he is facing any kind of difficulty while teaching. Thus, he kept up with his mission of reviving Sanskrit Buddhism in India, till his last breath. (Source Accessed Mar 22, 2021)
