________________ Nagada's Ancient Jaina Temple 85 The temple, though largely inornate, is important in that its sikhara is almost intact and thus is one of the rather fewer examples of relatively earlier Māru-Gurjara temples in Western India which have preserved that feature. It also demonstrates, to a smaller extent though, the small advances of the local style made after the Sas-bahu temples. Notes : 1. Cf. R. C. Agrawal, "Khajuraho of Rajasthana : The Temple of Ambika at Tagal", Arts Asiatiques, Tome X, Fasicule 1, Paris 1964, 2. See author's article, 'The Mahävira temple at Alar and Vişnu temple, Ellingaji,' Jour nal of the Asiatic Society of Calcutta, Vol.XIV, 1972. No. 1. 3. I am discussing the 'Sás-babu' temples in detail elsewhere, 4. From a few castya-paripāti psalms. 5. Progress Report of the Archaeological Survey of India, Western circle for the year 1904-05, p. 62. 6. Cf. Aparājitapyocha of Bhuvanadeva, G.O.S. No. CXV, ed. Popatbhai Anbashankar Mankad, Baroda 1950, vss. 21-23. 7. The urahsynga itself here seems to be also a functional substitute of the wilgama. 8. The Samarānganasul radhāra of Bhöjadēva of Mälava (ca. 1035-1055) and the para jitaprcchā (ca, third quarter of the 12th cent.) occasionally use this metaphor apropos the curvature of the sikhara. 9.
