130. Vide Muni Cãritravijaya, 'Vihāradarśana', p. 229, and V. T.
K., p. 107. 131. Perhaps "Pārakaraga', for 'Pārakara', would be the correct
reading. Jaina places of worship situated in ‘Pārakara-deśa', i.e., the modern Thara-Parakara District of Sindh, are referred
to in the V.T. K. p. 85 and the Aștottari-Tīrthamālā, st. 83 ff. 132. In ancient texts, this place is referred to as 'Serīsa' or 'Seri
sayapura' ( vide V. T. K., p. 24, p. 25, and p. 106 ). It seems to have once been an important town. Vide also Muni Jñāna
vijaya, 'Jaina Tīrthono Itihāsa', p. 40 ff. 133. About the history of this ancient place vide Pt. Lalacandra
Gandhi, ‘Tejapālano Vijaya' and 'Pāvagadha thi Vadodarā maṁ Prakata Thayelā Jīrāvalā Pārsvanātha', Bhavnagar, V.S.
1997 and 1991. 134. Vide V. T. K., p. 85 and Astot. st. 41 and 56, and p. 66 ff.
( 'Dhammacakka-titthaṁ' ). According to 'Purātana-prabandha-sangraha’l., p. 107, para. 232, Takşaśilā had once 105
tīrthas'. 135. The importance of Mathura as an ancient Jaina centre has been
revealed by excavations. Detailed references are found in the V. T. K. Vide also ‘Prācina Tīrthamālā-Sangraha', Introduc
tion, p. 40. 136. For ancient references vide the V. T. K.; for further informa
tion : 'Prācīna Tīrthamālā-sargraha', Introduction, p. 34. 137. Vide V. T. K. p. 61 ff., p. 86, etc. 138. Cp. Aştot., st. 86 f. (Jālaure .... Suvannagiri-sihare' ), etc. 139. The form 'Devagiri' is better known : cp. V.T. K., p. 44f. 140. Cp. the references given by M. D. Desai, ‘Short History',
Index, p. 994. 141. 'Hastodipura' is, according to the well-known specialist in the
history of Jaina tīrthas, Muni Jayantavijaya, whom I consulted, identical with 'Hastikundi', an ancient Jaina tīrtha, the name of which occurs in inscriptions pertinent to a tīrtha now
