________________ 536 S. B. DEO It seems that the gaccha originated from an ācārya of this name. PRAYA: It seems to have been current in the 14th and 15th centuries of V.E., in Rajputana. PUNIMA: It is variously referred to as Punamiya, Punima and also Paurnima. It is said that it originated in V.S. 1159. It is also referred to as a 'paksa'. It seems to have spread over Rajputana, N. Gujarat, U.P., Madhya Bharat and Bengal, and appears to have been current in the 14th-16th centuries of V.E. The following splits are referred to in this gaccha: (1) Pradhana Säkhā.183 (2) Bhimapalliya Śākhā,184 (3) Sadhu Säkhä,185 PUNIMA-VIJAYA: Sometimes this is referred to as 'Maladhāra punamiyā vijaya'.

It is referred to as late as in V.S. 1933 in the inscriptions from Sammeta Sikhara,186 PURANDARA: It is said to have arisen out of Bṛhat Tapå gaccha.
