________________ THE JAIN TIRTHAS 339 a late madiaeval temple of Śreyāṁsanātha. According to Premi (op.cit., pp. 449 f.), this tirtha was probably near Rajgir. Sec in this connexion, Tirtha Darsan, II, pp. 520 f. ; see also Tirthavandanasangraha, pp. 170 f. 219, Rohitaka :-A yaksha shrine of this place, is mentioned in the Upānga text, the Nirayavalika (see supra, I, P. 251). It is also mentioned in the Brhatkathakośa (story No. 136), where the Hindu deity Kārttikeya is represented as a Jain muni, which is both amusing and ludicrous ; see also Śriprasasti-sangraha, No. 666. The modern name of this place is Rohtak in Haryana. A temple of Pārsvanātha of this place was in existence during the time of emperor Babur (Babbrara) in V.S. 1584 and 1586. (see Mukhtar, Jaina. grantha-prasasti-sangraha, I, pp. 141, 222). The temple was under the supervision of the Digambara monks of the Käshthā sangha, Mathurânvaya and Pushkara gana. 220. Rudrapalli :- This was a place near Delhi and a Svetambara gaccha called the Rudrapalliya gaccha, originated from the Kharatara gaccha in this place, in 1147 A.D. (see L.A., XI, p. 248 ; sec also KB., pp. 17-18). The KB (p. 18) mentions two temples of this place, namely those of Pārsva and Rshabha, For references to this gaccha, see Nahar, op.cit., I, Nos. 461, 990, 122, 734, etc. ; II, Nos. 2029, 1052, 1325 etc. ; see also J.S.B.I., VI, pp. 172, 353, 370. 221.

Another Digambara writer Gunacandra wrote his Ananta-Jina-vr atapūja in the same Adinatha temple of Sagwara in V.S. 1633 ; see Mukhtar, Jaina-grantha-prašasti-sangraha, pp. 34, 50; see also Bhajjāraka Sampradaya, No. 330, which shows that the Adinātha temple here, was built in the 15th century.
