the name 'Vāmāsuta') of this place and the earlier writer Jõā nasāgara has also described the three Pārśva temples of this place (see Tirthavandanasangraha, pp. 70, 93). There is tberefore little doubt that this town was intimately associated with Jainism from the 14th century.
75. Ghoghã :-It is situated in Bhavnagar district of Gujarat, near the sea-shore, and is well-known for the temple of Pārsvanātha. A copy of the Neminathacarita was written in V.S. 1512, at this town. It is again mentioned in an image inscription V.S. 1513 (see Bhattāraka Sampradaya, Nos. 251, 429). Probably the Pārsvanātha temple of this place, is referred to by the term 'Ghoghāmandira' in a literary record of V.S. 1575 (see ibid, No. 469).

80. Gopācala :—This place is identical with the famous town of Gwalior and as we have already noted, it was a celebrated centre of Jainism in the mediaeval period, According to a Svetāmbara tradition, recorded in the Prabhāvakacarita (p. 84) and the Prabandhakośa (p. 29), the 8th century Jain sayant Bappabbațți built a Mahāvira temple at this place.
