245. Tagarapura :—This place was also known as Teråpura and the Jain caves here were quite well.known in earlier times. As we have noted, in connexion with Os. manabad, both Harishena and Kanakāmara have mentioned the Pārśva tirtha of this place. Tagarā is mentioned in the 7th-century Cūrni on the Uttarādhyayana (p. 62) and the Vyavahārabhashya (III, 339) also proves its association with Jainism. It appears from these two references that in earlier times, Tagara (it is mentioned in as early a text as the Periplus) was a Svetāmbara stronghold, and only at a later period, it came under the influence of the Digambaras.
246. Tahangarh :-Its ancient name was Tribhuvanagiri and it is some 14 miles, South of Bayānā in Rajasthan. The Śāti ātha temple here was consecrated by the Kharatara Jinadatta before V.S. 1211 (see KB., p. 19). The next Acaraya Jinacandra II visited it in V.S. 1214 (see K.B., p. 20). The Digambaras also had their temples, at this place. A temple, named after a local ruler called Ajayapāla, was under the supervision of the monks of the Māthura sangha here ; for further details, see Jain, Ancient cities etc., pp. 361 f.
247. Tāladhvaja :—This place near Satruñjaya in the Bhavnagar district of Gujarat, is now sacied to Sumatinātha and was known even before 1200 A.D. See for more details, Tirtha Darsan, II, pp. 420 f.
248. Tālanapura :--This place in Dhar district of M. P., is sacred to Adinātha and is respected by both the svetāmbaras and the Digambaras. There are a few old icons in this temple-complex ; see for details, Tirtha Darsan, II, p. 483.
249. Talapāțaka :- It is near Banswara in Rajasthan, and its modern name is Talawādā. Formerly, there was a temple of śāntinātha at this place, and it is also recognised as a tirtha in Siddhasena's Sakalatir-tha-stotra (G.O.S. 76, p. 156). At present, there is a temple of Sambhayanātha. See for further details, K. C. Jain, op.cit., pp. 420 f.
