Kampilya (Kampila)-The birth place of Vimalnath, the thirteenth Tirthankar. According to Tirthakalp it is situated on the banks of the Ganges in the Panchal area.
According to the eighteenth century Jain pilgrims, this city is to the east of Ayodhya. Going R by these descriptions this place is somewhere six miles northeast of Kayamganj in district
Farrukhabad. In Tirthakalp there is mention of village Pitiyari near Kampilya. This appears to be the modern Patiyari village lying about eighteen miles north east of the site now accepted as Kampila. Recently a temple and research complex have been constructed there.
Pandu-Mathura-In the past the Pandya dynasty ruled over Madura. This gives rise to 5 the surmise that the ancient Pandu-Mathura is modern Madura. According to this story the C 5 Pandavs were sent to the southern sea coast by Krishna. This also supports this theory.
Hatthakapp-According to the details mentioned in this story this place appears to be somewhere near the Shatrunjaya hills. There is a village named Hathap near Talaja in > modern Kathiyawad. It is not far from Shatrunjaya, so this could be the ancient > Hatthakapp. In the Vallabhi inscription of Dhaarsen first of the Gupta dynasty there is s
mention of Hast and Prakshep. According to scholars this is the same Hatthakapp. In the
seventeenth century prose work Pandav Charitra by Devavijaya it is mentioned that the » distance between Hastikalp and Raivatak hill was 48 miles. This also confirms the theory.
Ujjayant hill-Raivatak hill or Girnar hill.
Hastinapur-In Indian mythology this town also finds pride of a place like Varanasi and Ayodhya. According to the Mahabharat it was founded by king Hast, the son of Suhotra. According to Vividh Tirthakalp it was founded by King Hasti, the son of Kuru and grandson
of Rishabhdev. In Vasudevhindi it is mentioned as Brahmasthali. The city still exists and is 5 22 miles northwest of Meruth and 56 miles south east of Delhi.
