From the epigraphs and the niches of the Saciyä Mätä temple at Osian. (about 39 miles from Jodhpur) it appears that Saccika Devi was closely associated with Camunda, Mahişăsuramardini etc. The Upakesagaccha Paṭṭavali also makes it evident that Saccikä was a non-Jaina goddess whom Ratnaprabhasüri converted to the Jaina view of life. An epigraph from the temple of Saciya Mätä states that Cămunda was also the former name of Saccikā. Texts of the inscriptions at the Saccika Devi temples of Osian and Jună given. An image of Mahiṣasuramardini has been unearthed at Singoli near Binda Police station. Images of Mahişāsurmardini are still worshipped in some of the Jaina temples of Western India. An epigraph (Ep. Ind. IX Pp. 67-8) from Nãdol (Marwar) dated Samvat 1218 (1161 A.D.) makes it clear that prominent Hindu gods-Brahma, Vishnu, Mahela used to be [adored by the Jains in the form of the Jinas.
