COMPREAENSIVE HISTORY OF JAINISM discussed a few important Jain epigraphs of this place, which prove that it was a Jain sacred place eve: before 1000 A.D. ; see supra, pp. 83 f.; and Tirtha Darsan, II, pp. 589 f. ; see also Desai, op.cit., pp. 42 ff.
260. Todā Raisingh :-This place, in the Jaipur district of Rajasthan, was a well-known Jain centre in the mediaeval period. It was also known as Takshakapura, Takshakagadh and Taņāgapattana. According to the Bijolia inscription of V.S. 1226, one Vaiśravaņa, an ancestor of Lolaka built a temple at Tadāgapattana (see J.S.L.S., IV, No. 265). However, there is no trace of such an old Jain temple at this place now, Afterwards, temples of Adinātha and Neminātha were also built in this place. A manuscript of the Nagakumāracarita was copied in the Adinātha temple of Takshakapura in V.S. 1603 ; see Bhattaraka Sampradaya, No. 267 ; An earlier manuscript of the Pravacanasāra was copied here in V.S. 1497 ; see ibid., No. 245.

A Digambara temple, of this place, called Trilokatilaka, has been mentioned by Udayakirti, who flourished in all probability, in the 13th century ; see Tithavandanasangraha, pp. 38, 149. Some of the beautiful Jina icons from Tewar (the present site of Tripuri) have been preserved in the Jabalpur museum.
262. Uccanagara :--It is difficult to identify this place correctly, at the present state of our knowledge. J. C. Jain identifies it with Bulandshahr in U. P., which is merely a suggestion. It was, in all probability, in Rajasthan or Sind. An early Svetāmbara sakha, mentioned in the Therävali, originated from this place. It is mentioned several times in the KB and it was intimately connected with the activities of the monks of the Kharatara gaccha (see pp. 19, 20, 23, 34, 75, 81).
