Jainism in Bihar. 221. Recently some scholars have begun to contend that the town Pāvāpura,
venerated by all Jainas, is not the real place of Mahāvīra's liberation. They have suggested other localities in this connection, e. g. (i) Dr. Rājabali Pandeya considers that Pavanagara must lie in the ruins of Sathiyañva-phājilanagara situated 9 miles away in south-eastern direction of Kusinagara, the place of Buddha's nirvana. (ii) Mr. Cunningham is of opinion that the modern Padarauna in Devariya district must be the real Pavā; (iii) Pandita Rāhula Sankstyāna regards Papaura (9937) near Ramakolā Station as the ancient Pāvā. These are all conjectures and it may be noted that so long as excavations are not carried out in Pāvāpura venerated by the Jainas, no definite opinion can be given in this controversy. For detailed discussion vide Rājabali Pandeya : "Bhagavāna Mahāvīra ki Nirvanabhūmi Pāvāki Sthiti", Sri Mahāvira
