C. Pārsvanātha Image Pedestal Inscription: VS 1531 The inscription is engraved in 9 lines on the pedestal of the image of Pārsvanātha in cave no. 3. The inscription is reported by earlier scholars. It bears the date in Vikrama samvat 1531 that corresponds to A.D. 1474. The purpose of the inscription is to record the installation of Pārsvanātha image by Samghādhipati Chămpā at the assertion of Śrī Simhakīrti in the reign of Tomara ruler Kīrtisimha. It also mentions several members of the Jaisvāla family. Interestingly, here we find mention of three wives of Samghādhipati Lālā, namely Rāmatā, Vidho and Dharu.
