Faina Temples of Western India
3. For the eight dikpalas appearing in the Jaina
temples at Kumbharia see my article published in Sramana, year 28, No. 1, pp. 28-31. In the Western Indian paintings the Nirvāṇakalyāṇaka is indicated by another Jina image seated in dhyanamudra (Brown, W. N., A Descriptive and Illustrated Catalogue of Miniature
Paintings of the Jaina Kalpasätra, Washington, 1934, Fig. 1), for the Jina of the Samavasa. raņa forms a part of the Jñana-kalyānaka. But perhaps to avoid repitition the artist in the present reliefs has not shown another Jina figure for denoting the Nirvana-kalyanaka.
