________________ APPENDIX "B A complete set of the Dikpalini-Matrikas is found on the exterior of the Javarmata Temple. Javar (near Udaipur : Rajasthan). The original temple, as evidenced by an inscription at its main entrance, was built in 1655 or 1655 V.S. (i.e., 1598 or 1599 A.D.) in the reign of Maharana Amarsingh (s/o Maharana Pratap). That structure was greatly damaged by the Muslim invaders and the present shrine is obviously a restored and reconstructed one. Naturally, at least some of its images should have undergone some drastic* malformations at the hands of the retouching artist. Fortunately, they have not. All the images of these goddesses are in Ardhaparyankasana and have four hands each. The details regarding their article-attributes are as follows : S.No. Name Pose Articles Vehicle No. of hands Aindri Ardhaparyankasana Elepbant Thunderbolt : Goad Varad Mudra-t-Aksamala : Bijora Agneyi Ardhaparyankasana Ladle : Lost Ram Varad Mudra : Kamandalu Yamya Ardhaparyankasana Buffalo Staff : cock Varad Mudra : Bijora Nairrti Ardhaparyankasana Damru: Shield Sword : Human head held by tuft Dog (licking drippings from the human head) Varudi Ardhaparyankasana Crocodile Noose : Lotus Varad Mudra-Aksamala : Kamandalu (6) Vayavi Ardhaparyankasana Kauberi Ardhaparyankasana Banner : Banner Deer Varad Mudra + Aksamala : Kamandalu Goad : Nakulaka Elephant going over her both the shoulders Varad Mudra + Aksamala : Kamandalu Trident : Damaru Bull Varad Mudrat Aksamala : Kamandalu (8) Aishanya Ardhaparyankasana . जैन इतिहास, कला और संस्कृति Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
