JAINA TIRTHAS IN INDIA Avanti-Sukumala by his son. This Avanti-Sukumala was the son of a merchant from Ujjain and was contemporaneous with Aryasuhastisvāmī Siddhasena-Divākara, a learned Jaina, who composed his Kalyana-mandira-Stotra in this temple. The shape of the serpent hood in this image is of a different type. It is of white marble.

Figure 50-PARSVANATHA. On the Satrunjaya Hill near Pālitāṇa, there is the tük of Balabhai Modi. In it there is a temple on the left just when one enters it. Outside the sanctum of the temple there are two nicely carved niches which remind one of the niches called Derani-Jethanina Gokhlas. This image is installed in one of the niches. It belongs to the 18th or 19th the Cen. after Christ and carving of the niches seems to be of the 12th or 13th Cen. A. D.
