________________ 216 Jaina-Rupa-Mandana Abhogarohini, Vahani or Vahni, Sumälini and Sulocană. So it seems that this list of yaksinis represents a lost tradition and we cannot say with confidence that the labels were incised at a later date. We might tentatively assign the Devghad temple no. 12 set to the age of original construction of the shrine in c. late eighth century A.D., or in about 800 A.D., and not to any age of later repairs of this temple. Thus this is the earliest known set of the twenty-four yakşinis. The Tiloyapannatti gives us another list of the 24 yakşiņis and the list of another iDigambara text Pratişthásároddhāra also shows some variations. The age of the available text of the Tiloyapannatti, though assigned to c. sixth century in the introduction to its second part, is uncertain because at one place the text refers to Bulacandra Saiddhantika who does not seem to be earlier than c. tenth cent. A.D. The accompanying comparative table shows names of the yaksiņis according to Devgadh Temple no. 12 (DT), Tiloyapannatti (TP), Pratişthásároddhāra (PS) and Hemacandra's Trișaștišala kāpuruşacarita (HT) (Svetāmbara).
