images, exhibiting identical features, are being worshipped respectively in the Jaina temples at Vadodara and Idar (V.S. 1134/A.D. 1077).? Another instance of two-armed Ambikā, likewise riding a lion and carrying āmra-lumbi and child, is obtained from Melaja (Viramgaon, Ahmedabad, 12th-13th century A.D.).
