Out of the above, the beautifully illustrated Yasodhara-caritra from Karamsad (in Gujarat) was painted at Sojitra (near Karamsad) in Samvat 1555, with profuse use of gold. It is a very important document of Gujarati painting of the end of the fifteenth century. Similarly the Yasodharacarila painted by Citara Nanji at Idar in 1636 A. D. discovered by Mrs. Doshi from a Digambara collection is important for the history of Gujarati painting. The profusely illustrated Adipurana from Jaipur with about 500 paintings is a very interesting document done in the style of Matar Samgrahant of citară Govinda and when published it will cer tainly throw much more light on this style of Gujarat. 27 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
