temple of Pārsva (see Vividh atirthakalpa, p. 100). The temples, dedicated to Adinātha, śānti and others were built afterwards. However, at present, no other temple, except that of Pārsva, exists in this place. Sumatisāgara, writing in the 16th century, mentions this particular tirtha ; see Tirthavand anasangraha, p. 56. It is under the control of the Svetāmbaras ; see Tirtha Darśan, II, pp. 332 f.
47. Citrakūta :This celebrated fort was also a great centre of Jainism from the th century A.D. The great Haribhadra was a native of Citrakūța (see supra, Vol. I, p. 157). Several other authors afterwards wrote their works at Citrakūta. It was intimately connected from the 11th century with the activities of the monks of the Kharatara gaccha (see KB., pp. 10, 12-15, 19, 20, 49, 56, 69). The temples of Mahāvīra and Pārsva were the two earliest Jina tem ples of Chitor (see supra, p. 53). The Digambaras also had their temples at Chitor and in this connexion we learn about the erection of the two Digambara temples, namely those dedecated to Adinātha and Candraprabha at this town (see above, p. 174). The Kirtistambha is a Digambara monument. The Digambaras also had a separate Parśva temple at Citrakūța (see Bhara: ke Digambara Jaina tirtha, IV, p. 96). There was a separate Digambara branch connected with Citrakūța (see Bhasțāraka Sampradaya, No. 9)); see for more discussion, Tirtha Darsan, I,
pp. 182 ff.
48. Cūlagiri :- This tirtha is situated in the West Nimar (Kbargon) district of M. P. It is famous for the great image of Adinātha (84 feet). There is also a beautiful icon of Santinātha (13 feet); a few other temples also exist in this place. Several epigraphs of this place are known and the earliest among them is dated in V.S. 1223 (see J.ŜLS., III, Nos. 370-71); see also Tirthavandanasangraha, pp. 142 f.
49. Dadhipadra :- This place in the Panch Mahāls area of Gujarat, was connected with Jainism, from at least the 12th century, A temple of śāntinātha, of this place, is men
