known as 'Rātā Mahāvīra', situated in the jungles about 2 m. from Bijapur ( the latter place being situated 8 m. south-east from the Railway Station Eranpura Road ). In an inscription of V.S. 1345, this 'Hastikundi' is referred to as “Hathiudi' (Nāhar, “Jaina Inscriptions', I, No. 897 ), which linguistically lends itself well as prototype for a demi-Sanskritic 'Hastodipura'. The 'Hastikuņdīya-gachha' ( Vijaya Dharma Sūri,
Prācīna-lekha-sangraha', No. 43 ) seems to have derived its
name from that place. 142. Cp. 'Pādalipura' etc., in V. T. K., p. 34, and 'Pādaligāma' in
Astot., st. 82; vide also Prāc. Tīrth. Sangr., Introduction, p. 15.
The form ‘Pāțaliputra' is better known. 143. Vide Pt. L. Gandhi, ‘Pāvāgadh' etc., p. 52, p. 71, p. 90. 144. In Aștot., st. 59, this place is referred to as 'Sivanayarī’. Vide
also Prāc. Tīrth. Sangr., Introduction, p. 39. The modern place of the name of 'Ahicchatta' is situated near the E. I. Railway
Station, Aonla, not far from Rampur ( Distr. Bareilly). 145. Cp. Muni Vidyāvijaya, 'Meri Mevāda-Yātrā', p. 59 ff. The
place is situated about 13 m. north of Udaipur. 146. Cp. V. T. K. p. 86, Aștot., st. 89 ( ‘Nanaya'). 147. Vide above, chapter on the “Tīrtharkaras'. 148. Name of the 11th ring-continent, counted from Jambū-dvipa,
also of the ring-mountain traversing it. Being outside the ‘Manuşyaloka', its temples are built and attended only by
divine and semi-divine beings ( Sthānānga-sūtra, ‘Kundala'). 149. 'Mānușa' is an abbreviation for ‘Mannsottara' similar to the
form 'Maņua' used in the Astot., st. 25. Re the Mānnuşottara
Mountain, vide chapter on the ‘Tīrthankaras'. 150. Name of the 13th ring-continent as well as of the ring-moun
