vide Muni Vidyāvijaya, ‘Merī Mevāḍa-Yātrā', p. 64 ff. 159. 'Śrīnaga' obviously stands for ‘Śrīparvata', a name often mentioned in Jaina literature, as, e.g., V.T.K., p. 86 and p. 106. M. D. Desai, Short History, Para 524 locates it 'near Conjeeveram'. Nundo Lal De identifies Ancient 'Śrīśaila or Śrīparvata', 50 m. from the G. I. P. Railway Station Krishna. 160. Vide V. T. K., p.. .53.
161. Cp. Astot., st. 100, where this sacred place is referred to as "Tāraṇagiri'.
162. Vide also V.T.K., p. 85. The modern place lies 40 m. from Andheri. It was once an important Jaina centre.
163. Ārāsaṇa is a synonymon of ‘Kumbhāriya', once a flourishing city, much mentioned in Jaina literature. As a tīrtha, it is also referred to in Astot., st. 102.
164. Vide also V.T.K., p. 12, p. 85, p. 83, etc. : Dvārakā was once a Jaina tīrtha, bound up with the History of the 22nd Jina Neminatha, contemporary and relative of Śrī-Kṛṣṇa. Cp. also M. D. Desai, loc. cit., para. 842.
165. This place is mentioned in the Astot., st. 102 as 'Kāsaddaha”, and in V.T.K., p. 85 as ‘Kāśahrada'.
166. V. T. K., p. 7, st. 3 and p. 10 mentions a place "Tejalapura', built by Tejapäla at the foot of Mount Girnar. Vide also Prāă. Tirth. Sangr., Introduction, p. 57 f. 'Tejallavihāra' may refer to the temple erected there by him in honour of Pārśvanātha, and named 'Asarayavihāra' in honour of Tejapala's father.
167. This may be 'Nimbuyāḍa', a Jaina place mentioned in Meghavijaya's 'Pārsvanātha-nāmamālā', st. 20 ( Prāc. Tīrth. Sangr., p. 151 ), or 'Nibeḍā Kala', mentioned in the "Tīrthāvalīpravāsa' (No. 383) as posessing an old Jaina temple. Perhaps both names denote one and the same place.

168. Satyapura, mentioned in this form in the V. T. K., p. 4 and 86, and in the Prākṛta form 'Saccaura' in the Astot., st. 85. This
