Adinatha, Kunthunatha and Chandraprabha.
On either side of the pedestal the side walls have the niches. They consist of the yaksa and yaksi figures of Adinatha. They could be identified as 'Gomukha' and 'Chakresvari'.
2. The Dvitirthika Cave:
Towards the right of the former cave, there is yet another which contained images of two standing Tirthankaras. It could be identified as the Dvitirthika cave. (Plate 34) The pedestals of the two images are similar to those found in the former but the symbols are different. The symbol used in the pedestal of the first one is the 'lotus'. Hence, it refers to the - Tirthankar Padmaprabha. The second one has a standing 'goat' which speaks of its reference to Kunthunatha. A similar one as already stated is seen in tritirthika cave.
Moving towards the south on the right hand side, there are two more caves with standing Tirthankaras in them. Before entering, on either side, the cave is punctuated by two standing Tirthankaras outside. Above their heads, there are lotus projections with a shikhara motif at the top. They do not have emblems on the pedestals. Moving inside, we come across further to the tritirthika figures. It is a unit of three open carvings along the edge the rock.
Manastambhas:
In a ractangular nich, there is a representation of four manastambhas memorial pillars standing to a height of 1.25 m. There are creepers, with stupa and hemispherical decorations along the body of the pillars. They contains leafy and creeper designs. (Plate 35)
Chuvimsi Pattikas:
The second nich is cut on a higher contour to a depth of one meter in and area 7 x 5 sq. m. This contains trichauvimsi Tirthankar pattikas, cut to a height of 1.43 m. with the standard image of Parsvanatha below. He is flanked by yaksas and yaksis (plate 36). The yaksa is saparately shown. Again, slightly to the right of 'trichauvimsi pattika', there is a panel of reclining lady with the stretched body and a child by the side. Evidently, it represents Trishala, the mother, with the child Mahavira.
