Aindri is misconstrued as Lakshmi, Agneyi as the Matrika of Surya, Nairrti's human head has become a Kalash, Gajalakshmi in the place of Kauberi and Vajrashankh ala, a Jain Vidya, in the place of Aishanya. However, for carefully restored images a rennovated temple of XVI cen. origin, see Appendix 'B'.1 Some surviving images of the Dik palini-Matrikas are found on the exterior of the Sambhavanathji (Jain) Temple, Kumbhariya (near Ambaji : Mt. Abu) also. This temple was originally built in 1228 A.D. None can say to-day for certain that the present structure is as old as that. Perhaps, it is a XV cen, or XVI cen. A.D. edifice. However, some of the images fixed in the outer of the temple might be nearly as old as XIII cen. A.D. Some Dik palinis-Matrikas are found inside the temple as well. The details of the Dikpalini-Matrikas found therein are as under : S.No. Name Pose No. of hands Articles Vehicle Remarks Aindri Ardha paryankasana Elephant Aindri Dvibhanga Elephant Agoeyi Dvibhanga Ram Agneyi Ardhaparyankasana Goad : Thunderbolt Varad Mudra: (Lost) (Lost) : Thunderbolt Varad Mudra : Bijora Shakti : Lotus Varad Mudra : Bijora Shakti : (Lost) Varad Mudra : Bijora Lotus : Noose Varad Mudra: Bijora Top of Nakulaka : Tail of Nak ulaka Varad Mudra : Bijora Trident : Cobra Varad Mudra: (Lost) Varuni Ardhaparyankasana Kauberi Ardhaparyankasana Aishanya Ardhaparyankasana 4 1.
