Dr. Burgess, the Report on the antiquities of Kathiawad and Kachha p. 141. The most interesting point about it, the word 'Kevalijnana Samprapta nam' of those, who have obtained the knowledge of Kevalins, which occurs most frequently Jain Scriptures, and denotes a person, who is possessed of the Kevalijnana or true knowledge, which produces final emancipation. If would, therefore, seem that the inscription is of jainas, from this it would appear that these caves were probably excavated for the jainas by the Sahi Kings of Saurastra about the end of the second Century of the Christian era. They may however, be much older, -ibid, p. 143.
