12-13. The erection of two asylums (upāśrayas) for Jaina monks (S. XI. 32). 14. The restoration of the temple named Rāṇaka of Bhattaraka (Siva) (§. XI. 13).
15.
The construction of a vapi or a square covered water-reservoir (S. XI. 13). 16. The erection of. a pump-room (prapa) (S. XI. 14).
IV. At Satrumjaya near Pālitāṇā :
17. The erection of an indramandapa before the temple of Adinatha (Ś. XI. 15): compare V. Char. VI. 630.
18-19. The erection of a temple of the Jina of Ujjayanta, i.e., of Neminatha, and of a temple of the Jina of Stambhana, i.e., of Parsvanatha (S. XI. 16). Someśvara (Kirtikaumudi IX. 31-33) and Jinaharsha (V. Char. VI. 631-632) also mention both temples, and the former calls the two Jinas by the usual names.
20. The erection of a statue of the goddess Sarasvati (S. XI. 17). Neither Some vara nor Jinaharsha mention this. It is, however, probable, for Vastupala says, in the Girnar inscriptions, that, he erected in Girnar a prasastisahitaKasmiravatara-Sarasvatimurti.
21. The erection of statues of his ancestors (S. XI. 18); compare also Kirtikaumudi, IX. 34, and V. Char. VI. 633. According to the latter passage, these statues, as well as those named further on, were set up in the temple of Parsvanatha. This statement agrees with the actual state of things found in Tejaḥpala's temple on Aba, where the statues stand in an annex (balānaka, Kirtikaumudi, App. A., v. 61) to the right of the adytum.
22: The setting up of three statues on elephants; his own, that of Tejaḥpāla, and that of Viradhavala (S. XI. 19). With this, Jinaharsha (V. Char. 633-634) agrees entirely; Someśvara (Kirtikaumudi, IX. 35) says the three personages were on horseback, which is certainly a mistake.
23-26. The erection of sculptures representing the four mountain summits consecrated to Avalokanā, to Amba, to Samba and to Pradyumna (S. XI. 20). Jinaharsha says (V. Char. VI. 631) that these sculptures were found in the abovementioned temple of Neminatha. The four peaks might be those of Mount Girnar, now named after Amba, Gorakhnath, Dattatreya, and Kālikā Mātā: compare also the Girnar inscriptions, Arch. Sur. Rep. W. Ind. Loc. cit. 1. 6, and above p. 76.
27. The preparation of a torana before the temple of the Jinapati, i.e., probably of Adinatha (S. XI. 21). Jinaharsha (V. Char. VI. 629 )3 speaks of a torana over the western door of the indramandapa, which last stood before the temple of Adinatha.
28-29. The erection of temples of Suvrata of Bhrigupura or Broach and of Vira of Satyapura or Sächor (S. XI. 22), Jinaharsha (V. Char. VI. 656-658) says the two temples stood right and left of the temple of Adinatha, and that
