There is another manuscript of Sågår Dharmamrata' in the Sastra Bhandar of Jaina.Terapanthi temple Jaipur which was copied in Sathvat 1585 (1528 A.D). This manuscript also gives the same information about the city. But in the manuscript of Vaddhamana? Kahå which was copied one year earlier than the manuscript of Sagar Dharmamrata, the ruler's name is Rama Candra Solanki.
Caksū was a literary centre in which there was a good arrangement for copying out the manuscripts and thus the town was the centre place of scholars. In the 15th, 16th and 17th century, several manuscripts were written and sent to various places of Rajasthan. Some of the manuscripts which were copied in this town are follows:
(1) Upasakādhyayan' of Vasunandi was copied in 'Sahvat 1623 (1566
AD). At this time the town seems to have come under Amer as name of the Ruler has been named as Bhärämalla.
(2) Şat Pāhude with the commentary of Srutaságar was copied in the
year 1537 A.D. The manuscript exists at present in the Amer Šāstra Bhandar, Jaipur. This was also got written by Näthamal.
(3) After eight years the above work was again copied in 1545 A.D. in
the Pārsvanatha temple under the guidance of Mandalācārya Dharmacandra.
