Origin and early history of Caityas--(Ind. Hist.
P. 448. From that of the shrine the application of Caitya was extended to a bimba or duty in the shrine. We hear of this more in the Buddhist and Jain books (Pampa, Adi Purānam, x. St. 241). The Buddhists and Jain found that the masses of the land looked upon these as sacred alters and venerated them highly; they therefore, thought to venture a conjecture, better to give the old name to their sanctuaries instead of inventing a new one. Hence the Caitya was adopted as the name of their sacred shrines, whether they contained the images of the Buddha or Jina or their relics.
