1. The Jaina literature contains some information relating to the history of Guzerat and Rajputana.
III. Principal works of the Digambaras utilised as sources for the history of the Deccan : Harivamsapurāņa, Uttarapurāna, rašastilaka, Praśnottararatnāmālika, etc.
59. The princes of the first Cālukya dynasty were some devoted protectors of the Jainism. The latter was specially flourishing in the south Maratha.
65. The Harivamsapurāṇa was composed by Jinasena in Saka 705, under the reign of Vallabha (Govinda II, Rāştrakūta ?).
68-69 Amoghavarşa Ist, prince of the Rāstrakūta dynasty (above Śaka 760). was a fervent adept of the Jainism. There is a talk of him in the Uttarapurana of Gunabhadra, in the Pārsvabhyudaya of Jinasena (author of the Adipurāna and preceptor of Guņabhadra), in a philosophical treatise entitled Jayadhavala and in the Sarasamgraha, mathematical treatise of Virācārya. At last the Digambaras attribute to him the Praśnottaratnamälika the author of which should be Vimalachandra for the Svetämbaras and Sankaracharya for the Brahmins. A Tibetan translation of the Praśnotara-ratnamälika consider equally Amoghavarşa Ist, as the author of this work.
69. Under the reign of Akālavarşa, or Krişņa II, son and successor of Amog. havarsa Ist, several Jaina temples were constructed.
69-70. In Saka 820, consecration of the Uttarapurāņa by Lokasena disciple of Guņabhadra.
