jaina yuga JAIN TIRTHAS We intend to contribute here and in the forthcoming issues of Jain Yug a series of short articles dealing with selected Jain monuments at various places in Madhya Pradesh and the surrounding area. At present, information on these sites is available only for the specialist who has access to the archaeological reports written by D. R. Bhandarkar, Sir Alexander Cunningham, A. Fuhrer, M. B. Garde, H. Hargreaves, Sir John Malcolm, P. C. Mukherji, D. R. Sahni, and others. These reports which were published long ago are now for the most part out of print and can be consulted only in the big libraries. Moreover, lists of monuments which facilitate the orientation have not yet been published for all parts of the area. Only in the case of the former Gwalior State and the former Central Provinces the relevant monuments have been listed. Under these circumstances it may not be out of place if we direct the attention of the wider public to the half-forgotten temples of Madhyadesha. IN Dr. Klaus Bruhn While describing a piece of Indian art, we have to distinguish between those features which are common to all specimens following a particular type, and those specific to the piece under discussion. Unless we observe this distinc 2 1. D. R. Patil: The Descriptive and Classified List of Archaeological Monuments in Madhya Bharat. Gwalior 1952.-H. V. Trivedi: The Bibliography of Madhya Bharata Archaeology, Pt. I. Gwalior 1953.-H. Cousens: Central Provinces and Berar, List of Antiquarian Remains (Arch. Survey of India, XIX, New Series). Calcutta 1897. MADHYADESHA navembara 1958 (Hamburg, Germany) tion, we run the risk of repeating familiar facts again and again and may miss at the same time the genuine differences. Only a piece which is unique in its style and iconography deserves a full description. In all other cases an abbreviated procedure-bringing into relief the peculiar features but curtailing the rest is preferable. Such a discrimi nating treatment will no doubt detract from the harmony and balance of the picture, but there is no other way of clearing a path through the jungle of India's monumental antiquities.2 We have inserted these introductory remarks in the hope that they might explain the austerity of style and the bre vity of description. I. DUDAHI Dudahi is situated about 18 miles to the south of Lalitpur in the Jhansi District of Uttar Pradesh. From Dhaura Railway Station (on the Bhopal-Jhansi Line) the Forest Rest-House Dudahi is situated 7 miles away along a forestroad. Reports on the place have been published by Cunningham, Fuhrer, and Mukherji, The present village of Dudahi is situated to the north of the 2. It is hardly necessary to add that these observations apply to the study of Indian literature not less than to the study of Indian art. 3. A.

jaina yuga 30 navembara 1958 former Ram Sagar. This was an artificial lake formed by an embankment thrown on its southern side over a rivulet called Mugha Nala. Only recently the embankment was cut and the area of the lake taken under cultivation. The old village, on account of its ramparts locally known as "Kot", is now deserted. It was built on the south-west corner of the lake. Mukherji speaks of a still earlier settlement, called Budhi Dudahi and situated to the north and south of the "Kot", Ruins of Hindu and Jain monuments, all in a more or less ruined condition and accessible only by footpaths, are scattered over the area to the west and to the south of the lake. Although the extant structures and sculptures are not of first rate importance, it would be sad if the decay of the site, which has made rapid progress since Cunningham's visit, were to continue. The Jain monuments require no special preservation measurements, but it must be feared that the extant Hindu temples will collapse completely if no steps were taken to protect them against further ruin. The Hindu monuments include the "Choti Surang" (mostly collapsed); the "Badi Surang's (Fig. 4 shows the better preserved side, the other sidehascollapsed); a circular temple of the type of the Caunsat Yogini temple at Bheraghat but without extant murtis ; and a huge image of Narasimha cut in low relief in a vertical rock. The groundplan of the "Baci Surang" is probably unique in Northern India: the garbhagrha is open to either side. The Narasimha relief is remarkable not for its age or for its artistic merits, but for its unusual dimensions: it measures 27 feet in height. All the monuments can be assigned to the 10th to the 12th century, the Narasimha alone being later. Amongst the Jain monuments two colossal images stand out. They can easily be reached from the forest resthouse by a path running on the ridge of the embankment. They fall within the main group of monuments (on the south-west corner of the Ram Sagar) which include also the two Surangs. The seated Jina (Figs. 1 and 3) faces eastwards, the standing Jina (Fig. 2) faces westwards. The latter monument is situated to the east of the former. Both sculptures are protected by high walls, the standing figure on all four sides, the seated one on three sides (the front being open). The walls are for the most part later repair-work, and the only part of the old structures which is still intact is a four-pillared mandapa in front of the cella with the standing Jina. The seated Jina (Figs. 1 and 3). This is actually a composition of three Jinas, one seated in the middle and two standing to the left and right. The central murti measures about 12 feet in height. We start with a discussion of the pedestal of the central image. The two lions are shown dos a dos. We see the animals only from the side, and the erect neck is set off at a sharp angle from the body. This attitude is unusual and does not recur on the pedestals of the two standing images showing one of the more familiar versions of the lionmotif. Lions of the first type are however on the pedestals of some Jina 4. The word "surang" refers to the hollow interior of the sikharas of the two temples which has been exposed to view on account of the ruinous condition of the structures. 5. Cunningham tried to show that this was a Jain temple. His arguments are how. ever not very convincing. 6. There is a third colossal Jina (standing) mentioned in literature; I was however not able to see this specimen.

jaina yuga navembara 1958 murtis at Budhi Chanderi (northern temple in the dharmashala compound). The centre of our pedestal is occupied by the familiar dharmacakra which is flanked by two worshippers. The "carpet" hanging down from below the Jina's cushion shows a peculiar design: the kirtimukha? which appears often on this "carpet" is framed by two fabulous animals (called vyala or sardula); above them we notice warriors who are fighting these monsters. These vyalas and warriors are fairly similar to those which form a frieze on the inner doorframe (dated sam 1051) of temple No. 12 at Deogarh. The hair-dress of the Jina is also remarkable : gracefully pleated jatas terminate in curved ends which continue as it were in the curls covering the head immediately above the forehead. Besides, a brooch is fastened in the hair right above the centre of the forehead-a feature which is probably unique in Digambara iconography. The remaining elements of the parikara' are too common to require any comment. They consist in a cushion, a halo (bhamandala), elephants and makara-heads10 to the left and right of the head, a triple parasol crowned by an amalakall, and celestial couples and elephants on either side of the parasol. The drummer above the parasol (his drum is broken) has four arms, not two as is usual. He resembles the four-armed bracket figures which appear on the capitals of pillars and which are sometimes represented as musicians. The vertical slabs to the left and right of the central slab are partly or completely gone and we cannot make out their original appearance. The two standing Jinas are placed on socles with reliefs of Gomukha Yaksa (to the left) and Cakresvari Yaksi (to the right) respectively. Besides, we notice to the right of Gomukha a figure under a creeper (a motif which is frequently found on lower door-jambs), and to the left of Cakresvari a mutilated standing figure which we cannot explain. Both figures are somewhat unusual in this context.-Each of the standing Jinas is accompanied by two types of attending figures, not by a single pair as usual. The inner attendants are small in size, the outer ones are much bigger and slightly projected ; due to the asymmetry of the images these are found on one side only. The bigger attendants stand on elephants which appear on the same level as the lions (normally, the elephants which carry attendant figures are arranged on a higher level than the lions).-In the case of the right image at least we can recognize three heads of makaras and similar monsters: one above the big attendant figure, one in the angle between the snake-hoods and the shoulder, and one in the angle between the snake-hoods and the celestial above them. Normally we get either a single makara-head or three different animals (two heads and a complete figure between them). The remaining elements do not show any exceptional features. The two standing images differ only slightly from each other (see for example the elephants at the bottom). 7. The mask of the face of a fabulous monster, one of the most common decorative motifs in Indian art. 8. For the combination of jata and curls refer to my forthcoming paper on "Distinction in Indian Iconography" (Deccan College Bulletin 1959-60). 9. In Jain iconography those elements of the composition which surround the main figure. 10. The makara is a fabulous animal, in its earlier iconographic form a crocodile. 11. The flat member at the summit of the sikhara.

Page #38
jaina yuga As in other compositions of this type, the parikara of the standing figures is rather different from the parikara of the seated figure. There can be little doubt that the various parts of the composition were designed together and not collected from different sources. The two socles with the reliefs of Gomukha and Cakresvari belong for iconographic reasons to the central image. The images with the standing Jinas are asymmetrical (the miniature Jinas etc. appearing only on the inner sides) and cannot have been independent slabs in this form. On the other hand it is at least not necessary to assume that a part of these slabs has been subsequently cut away; in temples Nos. 19 and 29 at Deogarh we find well preserved standing images which belonged to similar compositions and show the same irregularity. Stylistically all pieces belong together. The difference between the pedestal of the central image and the pedestals of the lateral images (see above) is however noteworthy. But probably this discrepancy is explained by the different dimensions of the images and has nothing to do with style. On account of the jatas, the plaits of hair which hang down on the shoulders, and the attending Yaksa and Yaksi we can identify the seated Jina as Rsabha. Since images which are expected in this style normally show the cihna (see Jain Yug, April 1958, p. 36 f.), we can assume that Rsabha's bull-symbol was originally carved somewhere below. the Jina (possibly on the offset in the centre of the cushion which is now obliterated). The images to the left and right show the snake-hoods and represent therefore Parsvanatha (or Suparsvanatha). The cihnas (snake and svastika respectively) are missing as on inost images of these Jines in Madhya 32 navembara 1958 desha. Too much importance should not however be attached to these identifications. The majority of the Jina images in our area show either some type of long hair (jata etc.) and the bull cihna, or they show the snakehoods. The popularity of these additions reflects artistic fashion rather than religious trend. Otherwise we could not understand why the artists paid so little attention to the indication of the personality of the Jina. There is for example no proper distinction between Parsvanatha and Suparsvanatha, and the long hair which should only be shown in the case of Rsabha is found with other Jinas as well. The style of the images is not different from that of many others, although the elaborate parikara is unusual in the case of the central image. Figures of this size are normally not accompanied by so many subsidiary figures and paraphernalia. There is also a marked difference between the monumental style of the seated Jina himself and the baroque character of the parikara (see also the singular design of the jata).-- The body of the seated Jina is heavy and well-proportioned. The waist appears immediately above the forearms and is not raised as in the case of many other seated images. The elbows are not turned outwards and the upper arms hang down vertically. The face is actually broad but it gains in height on account of the jata and the vertical bands of hair on the shoulders. The whole conception is determined by a rigid system of vertical and horizontal lines and compares favourably with the nerveless and emasculated creations of other artisans of that time. The standing Jina (Fig. 2). This image measures also about 12 feet in height. The parikara comprises only the lotus

Page #39
jaina yuga on which the figure is standing, small vegetable objects in the hands, a lotusflower on the head, and a bhamandala with a simple design. Besides we have to imagine attendant figures to the left. and right of the Jina. That they formed a part of the composition can only be inferred from the mortices which receive the tenons by which the slabs with the attendant figures were fixed in the ground slab.-The lotus below the feet forms a solid base and is not carved in low relief as in the case of other standing Jinas. Such a thick lotus seems to be restricted to colossal images. In the hands of the Jina we find instead of the common lotus-flower a short stalk terminating in a rolled up leaf. The fingers are crooked, not straight. The lower contour of the hair forms a flat arch above the forehead. On the pedestal there appears www 33 navembara 1958 dharmacakra flanked by two deer (not visible in our photograph). This group does not identify a particular Jina but can be carved on the pedestal of any of the 24 Jinas. The cakra-and-deer motif is however not very common in our area. It is therefore not impossible that it had, in our case, the meaning of a cinha, identifying the Jina as Santinatha. & 4 s Situated on the old lake and surrounded by thick jungle, the ancient temples of Dudahi remain unforgotten to every visitor. Our essay has done little justice to the peculiar atmosphere of this lonely place. We hope therefore that one or the other of our readers will have an opportunity to visit Dudahi himself and to enjoy like us the art of its monuments and the beauty of its scenery.

Dear Sir, I beg to acknowledge your kind letter with thanks. The lesson in question was written by Dr. Umrao Bahadur and I have already referred to him to quote his source from where he drew the wrong, information which was used in the last edition of the said book. I was

Page #54
jaina yuga Disembara 195 appointed by the Education Department, Rajastan about three years ago to look into the factual mistakes which had crept into the Readers and I corrected those glaring mistakes and so far as I know an erata was added to each Reader and in the subsequent editions all mistakes were corrected. I am really very sorry for what has happened. This is an old edition of the book which contains these mistakes but rest assured these mistakes were corrected by me and a list of such mistakes was sent to the Education Department. Dr. Umrao Bahadur will be able to throw more light into the matter how such wrong information crept into the book. I express my regret for the wrong facts contained in the 1st edition. Yours faithfully (Sd.) S. J. B. Mathur and in consequence it has become difficult to give religious instructions to our students. We have, therefore ,to request you to clarify and permit our institutions to hold religious classes in between other classes during school hours. 3. We had also discussed with your Honour the question of obtaining written consent of Guardians of students for imparting religious instructions to their wards and had pointed out the administrative difficulties in complying with the relevant sub rule of the Rule 42. We have, therefore, to request you to dispense with the necessity of written consent of the guardians. 4. We hope your Honour will give kind and sympathetic consideration to the above questions and grant prompt relief in the matter so as to remove apprehensions caused in the mind of trustees of our various educational institutions.

TREATMENT OF GODDESSES IN JAINA AND BRAHMANICAL PICTORIAL ART Dr. M. R. Majumdar, M.A., LL.B., Ph.D. Generally speaking, figures of women are in the background in the Svetambara Jaina miniatures of the Gujarati school, as they naturally play a somewhat restricted part in the lives of the saints where they are of importance mainly as mothers of the Jainas; as in India, motherhood is at once a glory and a source of great power. Women appear also as goddesses, as dancers and as nuns, in Jaina literature as well as in Jaina sculpture and painting. Coloured miniature representations of the glorified super-woman with double the number of human hands are met with in several palm-leaf and paper Mss. The palm-leaf Ms. dated Samvat 1218 (1162 A.D.) in the Jaina Bhandar at Chhani, four miles north of Baroda, giving miniatures of the sixteen Vidyadevis is unique, in as much as these are subsequently found to have been transferred to stone sculpture on the ceiling of the famous Vimalavasahi temple at Delwara on Mt. Abu. The Jainas are not averse to Sakti worship; however, they do not allow Sakti the place of principal reverence as Creative Energy of the world. The conception and imagery of the sixteen Sruta Devatas and the twenty-four Yakshinis of the Tirthankaras, disclose points of identity in respect of names, attributes etc. with those of the Brahmanical Nava-Durgas mentioned in the Devi-Mahatmya and other Sakta Puranas. Although atheistic, the Jaina and the 22 Bauddha worshipped the Teacher and paid some regard to the Brahmanical divinities; for the atheistical systems admitted gods as demigods or dummy gods, and in point of fact became very superstitious. Yet both founder-worship and superstition are the growth of later generations than original practice. "Their only real gods are their chiefs or Teachers whose idols are worshipped in the temples. Thus, like the Buddhist and some Hindu sects of mediaeval and modern times, they have given up God to worship man. Rather they have adopted an idolatry of men and worship womanhood; for they also revere the female energy." The atheism of the Jaina means denial of a divine creative Spirit. The Jaina's hatred of women did not prevent his worshipping goddesses as the female energy like the later Hindu sects. The Jainas are divided in regard to the possibility of woman's salvation. Hemachandra Suri's Yoga Sastra alludes to woman as "the lamps that burn on the road that leads to the gate of hell". (ii, 87). The Digambaras do not admit women into the holy order, as do the Svetambaras. The Jaina religion places some of the Hindu deities in a subordinate category (under Devas and not Devadhi-devas) and makes them waiting upon the Tirthankaras. In the image of Rsabha of the Gupta period, from the Kankali 1. Hopkins: "The Religion of India", p. 287-88 footnote (1896).

jaina yuga Tila at Mathura, the two figures immediately to the right and left of the main figures are Balarama with a snakecanopy and a plough, and Vasudeva with his usual attributes of conch, club, Vanamala and disc. In the iconographic representation of Adinatha his Yaksha Gomukha is shown with a bull's face, naturally, connected with Siva, and the attributes of Chakresvari, his Yakshini are described like those of Vaishnavi. Thus, it has been tried to show the superiority and triumph of Adinatha over Siva and Vishnu, the two of the principal gods of Hindu Trinity. The Jaina Tirthankaras were no more than deified heroes, born of human parents, raised to the position of God by their renunciation and great services to religion for the deliverance of mankind. Hence, according to the Jaina notion, Tirthankaras are superior to gods in as much as a Tirthankara is approaching salvation, whereas a God is merely a heavenly being subject to births and deaths. This relative position is made more conspicuous in the Jaina sculptures and miniature paintings where the main figures of Tirthankaras are worshipped or served by some surrounding gods, goddesses and other heavenly beings as only their subordinates. According to the Jaina belief, Indra appoints one Yaksha and Yakshi to serve as attendants, upon each of the Tirthankaras. The Yaksha would be on the right side and Yakshini on the left, in the lowest corner of the main statue of a Tirthankara. These came to be called Sasana-Devatas? (lit.

When the Sasana devata appears in individual sculpture, the keynote to recognise is the presence of a small Jaina figure either at the head or at the top of the statue. The association of the Yakshas-traditionally known as demi-god of riches. with Kubera as the supreme deity of treasures; with the Tirthankaras is explained on cultural grounds by supposing that the Yakshas and Yakshinis were leader-disciples of the Jainas, as it obtained in Buddha images, and had been chosen from the rich mercantile class who appropriated them among the class of their highest divinities, and some of them are represented in actual images characterised with the symbol of money-bag and rich ornaments.3 As the Sasana-devatas appear in the Jaina representations, they have been endowed with semi-divine attributes and symbolism of various kinds. The names and symbols of some of the Sasanadevis such as Chakresvari, Nirvani, Ambika, betray unmistakably original ideas of personalities fused with those of older Brahmanic goddesses. In the development of theistic and devotional Hinduism, however, the feminine powers (comprising type of beneficient powers of fecundity and prosperity as well as malevolent demons) could be and gradually were incorporated into a consistent theological scheme as manifestations of one goddess, who is either Herself the supreme power (energy) or the power (energy) inherent in a male deity. As power, the goddess is called Sakti and her manifold forms Saktis. She is in her own right, the Absolute 3. For a fuller treatment of this point see "The Jaina Iconography" by Prof. B. C. Bhattacarya (1939), Chapters II, III and VI.

jaina yuga Disembara 1958 in action, manifestation and variety : Nature in all her multiplicity, violence and charm dispensing impartially, birth and death, illusion and enlightenment. In relation to a particular cosmic deity, such as Siva, she is in a popular sense, his wife, and also in specific forms she engages in activities on behalf of gods or men, and this relation and those activities form the theme of innumerable Puranic legends. Along with the worship of Sakti in many forms either beneficent or terrible, the Saktas have developed an elaborate hierarchy of feminine figures such as the Mahavidyas, the Mahamataras, Yoginis etc. The advocacy of the female principle has afforded an easy means for absorbing many aboriginal beliefs into the fringe of Hinduism. The theory of God and His Sakti has been foreshadowed in the Vedas, in the conjoint worship of Heaven and Earth (dyava prithivyau). In the later Saiva mythology this conception found its artistic representation in Siva's form of Ardhanarisvara, testifying the union of the male and the female spirit. The symbolism of Ardhanarisvara was taken to explain the two main divisions of the Sakti cult: the Dakshina marga (the right hand sect) and the "Vama marga' (the left hand sect). In ordinary worship, the Goddess is represented by a 'Yantra' or by a garlanded 'ghata', and the ritual includes the fivefold 'puja' and the presentative of vegetable offerings. But the most important part of the service is the recitation of the Chandi or the Durga episode, preceded and followed by other sacred texts drawn from the Markandeya and the Varaha Puranas. In the Devi Mahatmya, the exploits of Mahakali, Mahalakshmi and Mahasarasvati--the three phases of one Supreme Sakti--are described in detail; those of the Navadurgas and the other Matrikas are dealt with in a summary fashion and generally in one picture, as are the twenty-four Tirthankaras dealt with together in a single miniature in the several illustrated Kalpasutra Mss. The Jaina goddesses are divided into three classes according to the text of Achara-dinakara; viz.-(i) Prasadadevis or installed images, (2) Kuladevis or Tantrik Goddesses worshipped according to Mantras from preceptors, (3) Sampradayadevis or class. goddesses. The author of this text describes the goddesses as on dais, in field, installed in a cave or in a palatial temple either as a symbol, as self-created, or created by man sectarian goddesses such as Amba, Sarasvati, Tripura. Tara etc., Kuladevis such as Chandi, Kanthesvari, Vyaghraraji, etc. It is a fact that great many Tantric goddesses have found a room in the Jaina Pantheon. We come across the names of goddesses of clearly Tantric nature such as Kankali, Kali, Mahakali, Chamunda, Jvalamukhi, Kamakhya, Kapalini, Bhadrakali, Durga, Lalita, Gauri, Sumangala, Rohini, Yamaghanta, etc. According to the Rupamandanat the images of Adinatha, Neminatha, Parsvanatha and Mahavira and their respective Sasanadevis Chakresvari, Ambika, Padmavati and Siddhayaka are especially venerable; and are endowed with great power. Several varieties of Dhyanas of these popular Jaina Sasanadevis have led to their two-armed, four 4.

jena yuga Disembara 1958 armed and multi-armed sculptural forms according to both the Svetambara and the Digambara traditions. But their pictorial delineation either on palm-leaf, on pata (cloth-roll), on wooden planks or on paper is found to be invariably four-armed, and can hardly be distinguished from the Brahmanical repre. sentations of the same. The eight-armed Chamunda miniature and others in the Devi-Mahatmya Ms. will be referred to later on. Lakshmi or Sri (the goddess of wealth) and Sarada or Sarasvati (the goddess of learning) enjoy great popularity both among the Hindus and the Jainas. In India wealth and learning are valued as the two primary needs of humanity and naturally these were symbolised in the forms of deities and were widely worshipped. There are typically Gujarati pictorial renderings of the Indian Goddesses, with all the peculiarities of the style. The Buddhists gave these goddesses new and dignified names of Vasudhara and Prajnaparamita. However, Buddhism did retain the original name in deities like Vajra-sarasvati and Vajrasarada. The Buddhists, however, acknowledge a male deity of knowledge in Manjusri with the book and the sword as cognizances. They also thought of a male deity of wealth in Jambhala, the counterpart of Hindu Kubera, Vasudhara being made his consort. Sarasvati is principally the goddess of speech both in Hinduism and Jainism ; she is the superintending deity of knowledge and learning. As' Srutadevata she presides over the Sruti or the Vedas or the revealed literature of the Hindus as held by Brahma, or the Sruta or the preachings of the Jaina Devadhideva or the Tirthankaras and the Kevalins. She is invoked for dispelling the darkness of ignorance, for removing the Moha caused by Maya, and for destroying all miseries. She is thus the bestower of knowledge and purity, namely the white complexion, the lotus and the swan (replaced by a peacock according to Digambara tradition) are, therefore, associated with her. The Manavi of the Jainas, who sits on a twig or on a blue lotus and is of the blue colour resembles the Sakambhari of the Hindus as mentioned in the DeviMahatmya. Other comparisons with Aindri, Varahi, Kaumari, Vaishnavi, Kali and Mahesvari are not given for want of space. However, Sarasvati the Srutadevata is not connected with the so-called sixteen Vidyadevis of the Jaina Pantheon, nor is she identical with Sarasvati or Siddhayaka, the Yakshini. The Jaina Sarasvati thus cannot be dissociated from the Brahmanical Saravasti who is the consort of Brahma. In Jainism, the goddess of learning is named variously as Sarasvati, srutadevata, Sarada, Bharati, Bhasha, Vak, Vak-devata, Vagisvari, Vani, and Brahmi. The Devatamurti-prakarana, the Hindu silpa text by Sutradhara Mandana records a similar group of 12 Sarasvatis in the Hindu Pantheon, obtained by an interchanging of the symbols and the mudras of the four hands : (1) rosary (akshutra) (2) (padma) (3) book (pustaka) and either (4) abhaya or varada mudra, in a way exactly identical to that which gives us the 24 forms of four-armed Vishnu obtainable by the permutation and combination of the four symbols- Sankha, Chakra, Gada and Padma. Sarasvati's names are twelve: Mahavidya, Mahavani, Bharati, Sarasvati, Arya, Brahmi, Mahadhenu, Vedagarbha, Isvari, Mahalakshmi, Mahakali and Mahasarasvati.

Page #74
jena yuga Disembara 1958 Out of these twelve, Mandana has described only three-Mahavidya, Sarasvati and Brahmi in his another work Rupamandana. The description of Brahmi, however, differs in his two works, the kamandalu being the distinguishing symbol among the two, in place of the abhaya or the varada mudra. The representation of Sarada on the first folio of the Gitagovinda painted in the 15th century (first published in original colour in Journal of the Bombay University, May 1938 as plate VI) is almost identical to that of Sarasvati in Jaina Mss. She is a four-armed goddess holding in uper right hand a manuscript, with flowers strewn over it, and a kamandalu in the lower : the upper left hand holds the lotus stalk, the lower one holding the lute (vina). At her feet is a swan (hamsa). With this may be compared the delineation of Sarasvati in the Devimahatmya Ms., done in the identical Gujarati style of painting. These Devimahatmya miniatures from Gujarat are the oldest known Indian paintings on paper, bearing on the Sakti legend, representing a school of Indian art based on old traditions, and carrying us back at least a century and a half further (i.e. to the beginning of the 15th century) than the oldest Rajput pieces. She is four-handed, and carries the manuscript (strewn over with flowers) and the lotus-stalk in the two upper hands, and the rosary and the vina in the two lower ones. The horizontal tilaka with a circular mark in the centre on the forehead, the tuft of hair artistically twisted so as to touch the cheek, the mukuta, the circular kundalas etc. are the characteristics sufficient to establish the direct relationship and the continuity of older traditions in representing female figures. The first folio of the Balakrishna Krida Kavya gives the figures of Ganesa on the right-hand side of the folio and that of Sarada on the left. In this miniature, Sarasvati is shown to hold a manuscript in the upper right hand, the lower right hand holding perhaps a lotus, the two left hands having been engaged in holding the lute (vina). The casual figure of Sarasvati in the paper Ms. of Kakaruta copied in Samvat 1588, a secular work on divination based on the various cries and movements of a crow, may well be remembered here in connection with a pictorial representation of Sarasvati. It illustrates the good or bad omen divined from the sitting of a crow on the Sikhara of a temple. Here Sarasvati holds a lotus in the upper right hand and the vina in the upper left; the lower right hand holding the rosary and the lower left a kamandalu. The change in the position of the symbols cannot be explained, as it depends principally on the whim of the artist, at times supported by a dhyana known to him alone. The pointed nose, circular ear-rings and the superimposed eye links the miniature to the Gujarati style. The figure of Maha-Sarasvati from a Ms. of Devi-Mahatmya copied at Suryapur (modern Surat) in late 17th century is given against the old traditional brick-red background. The original mukuta has undergone an appreciable change and the complete profile has wiped out the remnant of the other eye visible in the threefourths profile. The illustration is however, important as establishing a continuity of tradition in Gujarati painting. The gaps in the miniature are filled up with floral designs. The miniature of Sarasvati with a mukuta and feathers therein in a later

Page #75
jena yuga Disembara 1958 Ms. of Devi-mahatmya painted at Cambay represents her as holding a manuscript in the right upper hand and a kamandalu in the right lower, while in the left upper hand she holds a lotus with a stalk and in the lower she carries the lute (vina). She rides on a swan (resembling a cock from the red comb) who carries a string of pearls in its beak. This description closely tallies with the one given in the Vishnudharmottara Purana. The background of the miniature is indigo-blue; the use of gold colour is especially note-worthy. The style is late Rajput. The standing figure of the eight-armed goddess came to be known as 'Chamunda', on account of her extraordinary exploit, viz. she carried in two of her hands both Chanda and Munda, seizing them by their locks of hair. The self-complacence on the face of the Goddess is remarkable in the miniature. The two wretches being carried in her mighty hands held so as to face each other, add to the grandeur and almightiness of the figure. Mahadevi is represented eight-armed (ashtabhuja) as she is engaged in actual fight with the demons Chanda and Munda as also in the other incident. In the Sumbhadaitya-Vadha the figure of the four-armed goddess as fighting against the demon Sumbha and his associates, is depicted in full action. The delineation of the lion seen at her feet is in a conventional manner. The figures of the demons are also equally active and full of vigour. The treatment of the human figures in these miniatures of the Devi-mahatmya is far from the stereotyped rendering in the Mss. of Jaina legends, and they show also better workmanship. The conception of the multi-armed goddess is not carried so far in Jaina miniatures of goddesses. The only exception noticed by me is from a paper painting pasted on cloth-the VimalaCharitra-pata (measuring 18" X 18'') in Baroda Museum Collection, where a goddess is given more than 20 hands. The figures of Sarasvati, Laksmi, Ganesa, Indra and many others from the Jaina Pantheon are also notworthy. The prominent colours are red, yellow and blue. Of the Yakshinis a good number appears to have passed into an order of Jaina female deities called the Vidyadevis or goddesses of learning. These goddesses share in a great measure forms of the Brahmanic female deities. The Yakshinis thus combine in them influences from the Brahmanic goddesses as well as those of the Yaksha semi-divinities. As regards the attributes and symbols which adorn the hands of these Devis, some of them are war-like, as worthy of a Yaksini, and others are benign, as symbolic of a goddess of learning (Vidyadevi) The representations of the Vidyadevis in the Chhani palm-leaf Ms. are quite unique ond characteristice as they are seen to have been faithfully handed down to the paper-period of the miniature drawing in the Devi-Mahatmya Ms. where the Mahadevi is depicted in quite an identical way. They afford very rich material for a study of Jaina Iconography as well. The horizontal 'tilaka' with a circular mark in the centre on the forehead, the tuft of hair artistically twisted so as to touch the cheek, the 'mukuta', the big circular 'kundalas' etc. are facts sufficient to establish the direct 5.

jaina yuga relationship and the continuity of the older tradition in representing female figures, up to the papr-period of the style. We will now passingly review notable representations of the Jaina goddesses in various palm-leaf, paper and cloth Mss. One very interesting example of Ambika, the Yakshi of Neminatha, is furnished by a miniature painted on a palm-leaf at the Chhani Bhandara, dated Samvat 1301 (Fig. 35 of the Chitrakalpadruma). Here the goodess has two hands and is seated in lalitasana, with her left foot hanging, on a lion. Her left hand holds a bunch of mangoes while with her right arm she holds a child in her lap. She wears ornaments, a lower garment, a scarf and a crown. Another miniature of the four-armed Ambika, shows her holding lotuses in her upper hands, in her lower right hand carrying a baby; and her lower left hand a mango fruit; below her is crouched a lion, which is her vehicle (See Plate 1 Fig. 2 on P 116, of "The Story of Kalaka", by Brown). No dhyana for four-armed variety of Ambika is available, but it appears likely that the original two-armed form served as a model for the four-armed one in which the earlier symbols were multiplied in order to accentuate artistic and symbolic effect. A painting of Ambika Devi from the palm-leaf Ms. (dated V. S. 1198; A.D. 1142) of the Neminatha-charitra of Hemachandra Suri preserved in the Santinatha Bhandar, Cambay illustrates this fourarmed form." The palm-leaf Ms. Ogha-niryukti at the Viravijaya Bhandar at Chhani has 7. Illustration Fig. 15 in Dr. U. P. Shah's paper on "Iconography of the Jaina goddess Ambika" Bom. Uni. Journal, September 1940. 28 Disembara 1958 a miniature (2" X 2") of Sarasvati, representing her as holding a lotus in the right upper hand and a book in the left lower, while the remaining two are engaged in playing on the vina. The Miniature painting of Sarasvati (3" x 2.5") on the palm-leaf Ms. of Upadesamala Vritti at the Santinath Bhandar, Cambay gives the lotus, the vina, the rosary and the book as her symbols; and the one (11" 23") in the other palm-leaf Ms. of the Uttaradhyayana Sutra represents the same form. This form seems to have been very popular and is identical with the Hindu Mahavidya described in the Rupamandana. In the palm-leaf miniature (2.5" X 2.5") of the Vivekamanjari at the Santinath Bhandar, Cambay, Sarasvati is shown with vina and the lotus in the two upper hands and the Varada and the book in the two lower ones. The Upadesamala Ms. (V S. 1293) in the Sanghavi Pada Bhandara, Patan, shows the same form on folio 2. A representation of Sarasvati on cloth found in a Varddhamana-Vidyapata of circa 15th century form the collection of Muni Shri Punyavijayaji shows the four-armed goddess seated on two swans, carrying the lotus in the left upper hand, the vina in the left lower, the rosary in the right lower and the book in the right upper.
