We are told here that while Buddha stayed at Samagama, the report was brought to him that his rival had died at Pava, and that the Nigranthas, his followers, were divided by serious scheme. According to Jain traditions also Mahâvîra died at Pava. Compare the following remark of Charpentier about the Jain chronology given above, "the list is absolutely valueless, as it confuses rulers of Ujjain, Magadha, and other kingdoms; and some of these may perhaps have been contemporary, and not successive as they are represented".

"The traditional chronology of the Jainas". p. 16 f. Shah regards Tithagolipainnya as the oldest Jain chronological work. He assigns it to the early part of the fourth century A.D. The above verses from Tithagolipainnya are also quoted by Muni Darshan Vijya in his "Pattavli Samucaya."
