JAINA BIBLIOGRAPHY
P. 334. Mahavira, on becoming Kevalin, passed three rainy sections at Champa and its suburbs, and made many converts, Champa-a stronghold of Jainism. Champapuri is held very sacred by the Jains as Väsupujya, the 12th Tirthankara, lived and died here. A temple at Nathnagar marks the site of his birth and consecration. Väsupujya was the son of Vasupūjya and Jaya, and his symbol is the buffalo. In Champa existed a temple called Chaitya Punnabhadda where Mahävira resided and where Sudharmana, one of the Mahavira's disciples recited the Urasagadasao. Väsupujya's temple belongs to the Digambara sect. At Champa another the Svetambaras.
