also pointed out at Bhairavaghati below Gangotri in Garwal at the junction of the Bhagirathi and the Jahnavi, where the Ganges is said to have been quaffed by the ishi (Fraser's Himala Mountains, p. 476). For other places which are pointed out as the hermitage of Jahnu (soe Gau gå and my Notes on Ancient Anga in JASB., vol. X (1914), p. 340). There was a Buddhist Monastery at Sultanganj itself which contained
& colossal copper statue of Buddha constructed in the 5th century A.D. Jajahuti-Same as Jejabhukti. Its capital was Kajuraha at the time of Alberuni in
the eleventh century (Alberuni's India, vol. I, p. 202). Jajatipura-Jajpur (see Yajñapura and Yay&tipura). Jalandhara-Jalandhar, a town near the western bank of the Sutlej in the Punjab : same
as Trigartta. (Hemakoska). The name is derived from its founder, the Asura Jalandhara, the son of the Ganges by the Ocean (Padma P., Uttara, ch. 51). It is the head-quarters of the district called Jalandhara Doab or Jalandharapitha lying between the Bias and
the Sutlej. It is the Kulindrina of Ptolemy; but see Kulinda-desa. Jalpisa-See Japyesvara. It is situated on the west of the river Tists in the district
of Jalpaiguri in Bengal (Kalika P., 77). The name of Jalpaiguri is evidently
derived from this Tîrtha. Jamadagni-Asrama-1. Zamania, in the district of Ghazipur, the hermitage of Rishi
Jamadagni. Zamánia is & corruption of Jamadagniya. 2. The hermitage of the Rishi is also pointed out at Khaira Dih in the Ghazipur district opposite to Bhagalpur. 3. At Mahasthanagad, seven miles north of Bogra in Bengal (Katha-sarit-ságara, II, 1;
Skanda P., Brahma Kh., ch. 5, vs. 147, 150). It is also called Parasurama-Agrams. Jambodvipa-India. The ancient name of India as known to the Chinese wes Shin-tup
or Sindhu (Legge's Fa Hian, p. 26). See Sindhu and Bharatavarsha. Jambukesvara.-Tiruvanaikaval between Trichinopoly and Srirangam (Devi P., ch. 102):
see Srirangam, Jambumârga-Kalinjar (Prof. H. Wilson's Vishnu P., Bk. II, ch. XIII note). But this identification does not appear to be correct (see Mbh. Vana, chs. 87 and 89). The Agni P., (ch. 109) places Jambumárga between Pushkara and Mount Abu, and mentions Kalajara separately as a place of pilgrimage in the same chapter. Jambu is placed
in Mount Abu (Skanda P., Arbbuda Kh., ch. 60). Jamunotri-See Yamunotrl. A sacred spot in the Bandarpuchchha range of the Himalaya
considered to be the source of the river Yamuna (Jamuna) near the junction of three streams. The particular spot which obtains the name of Jamunotri is a little below the place where the various small streams, formed on the mountain-brow by the melting of sow, unite and fall into a basin below. Jamunotri is eight miles from Kursali. At a short distance from the latter is a celebrated hot spring, issuing from the bed of a torrent which falls into the Jamund at a place called Banass: it is considered by the Hindus to be exceedingly holy (Martin's Indian Empire IUustrated, vol. II, pp. 11-20;
Fraser's Tour through the Himala Mountains, oh. 26). Janasthana-Aurangabad and the country between the Godavari and the Krishņâ : it was
& part of the Dandakâranya of the Ramayana (Arapya, ch. 49). Paschavati or Nasik was included in Janasthana (Ibid, Uttara, ch. 81). According to Mr. Pargiter, it is the region on both banks of the Godavari, probably the country around the junction of that river with the Pranhita or Waingaiga (JRAS., 1894., p. 247).
