________________ Correlation of Jaina Inscriptions with Sthavirāvalīs 175 calculated as Virät 548-584, i.e., A. D., 21-57; vide Muni Nathmalji, “Jaina Darśana Manana aur Mīmāṁsä, (Hindi), App.I.p.63. This of course would be the date of Ārya Vajra as ācārya or as head of the group of monks. Also cf. M. D. Desai, Jaina Sahitya no Samksipta Itihāsa (Gujarätī), Bombay 1933, pp. 31, 37, 124, 6.

To my knowledge, none of these other inscriptions so far have been published. 16. Gupta, pp. 201-202. S. K. Saraswati, in The Age of Imperial Unity, pp. 502 f. 17. The inscription is read as under by A. Ghosh : निर्वाणलाभाय तपस्वियोग्ये शुभे गुहेऽर्हन्प्रतिमाप्रतिष्ठे। आचार्यरत्नं मुनिवरदेवो विमुक्तयेऽकारयत् ऊढतेजाः॥ The Normal prose order is : आचार्यरत्न ऊढतेजा मुनिवरदेवो निर्वाणलाभाय विमुक्तये(च) तपस्वियोग्ये शुभे ऽहत्प्रतिमाप्रतिष्ठे गुहेऽकारयत्। The new suggested prose order is : आचार्यरत्न ऊढतेजा मुनिवैरदेवो निर्वाणलाभाय विमुक्तये(च) शुभे गुहेऽर्हत्प्रतिमाप्रतिष्ठेऽऽकारयत् । - The Roots of Indian Art, p. 202.
