As is evident from figures on the pedestals in some of the devakulikäs in the Vimalavasahi temple, this pair of yakṣa and yakşi continued to be associated with all the tirthankaras. In later iconography, after the twelfth century, Ambika was given two more arms, and she began to appear on the doorframes of the sanctums of the main shrine and the devakulikās.
