must have been built at least fifty years ago. Fourthly, from the inscriptions of the rulers of Abu dated V. S. 1350 (A. D. 1293-4), V. S. 1372 ( A. D. 1915-6 ) and V. S. 1373 (A. D. 1316–7), it seems there were only two Jain temples Vimalayasahi and Lunigavasabi-on Mt. Abu. It is certain, therefore, that the temple was erected between A. D. 1315 and A. D. 1437.
The principal image in the temple is made of brass and other metals. It was set up by Gada and Sundara in A. D. 1464-9 From the lánchhana or sign of bull, it is certain that the image is of Adinatha. It is about eight feet high and five and a half feet broad.
Another image in the temple that arrests our attention is the marble image of Adinātha set up by Simba and Ratna in A. D. 1468-9.
The third vorth-seeing image in the temple is that of Pandarikaswāmi. It has a 'rajobarana: or a brush to streep the ground, & piece of cloth (mubapatti) on the right shoulder and a loin cloth.
Besides these images, there are 87 marble images, 4 brass images, 7 standing images, one image of Gautamaswami and another of Amlukaderi,
