--an upavana in the vicinity of the city of Ujjayini
(mod. Ujja i n). The famous temple of Mahakåla is situated to the east of the river Kś i pra in the south-east of the Piśä сa mu k t e śvara ghafa. It might be the central place of the Mahăk alavana. 17.13. the territory of Māla vā in Central India with Ujjain and Dhār as its capitals. The Skandapurāņa (Mäheśvarakhanda, Kaumārikakhanda, 39. 127 ff.) states that the Malava country consisted of 1,18,092 grămas or villages; while Vina ya candra's Kavyasikşă (vide Kāvyamīmāmsā, G. O. S. ed., pp. 248-249) gives the number of villages in that country as 9,00,092. In the light of these references, the epithet of king Siddharāja Ja ya simha viz. “18 lakṣa 92 sahasra málavalakşmikacagrahavigrapāņi” given in our text (LPS., 6.14-15) may be regarded as referring to the number of villages comprised by that country according to the author of our prabandha. Also cf. PC. 61.14, where Yaśo var man, the Māla va king, is stated to have said to king Siddharāja Ja ya simh a that he was the king of the Mālava country of 18,00,000 : “ Aham hi-aştādaśalak şapramánamálavadeśādhipah”. 6.15. - appears to mean Rame śvara, the holy place of
pilgrimage on the southern coast of India. The preceding word Anantasena seems to have influenced its form. There is a Rāmasenatirtha of the Jainas in Rajasthāna, described on pp. 234-235 of the Jaina Paramfară-no Itihāsa (Guj.) by Muni-tripuți, part II. The context of the present text, however, does not appear to mean this J aina
Tirtha. 27.9. -appears to be the same as the city of Laksmaņä vati in Bengal identified with the city of Gauda and named after king Lak ha nasena or Lakşma ņas e na (1179-1206 A.D.) of the Sena Dynasty. 28.2.
