________________ S. P. SINGH 131 found on the hill, however, show that some of the ruins would date about the 7th or 8th century A.D. Another place of importance for the Jains is Gulzarbagh in Patna. There lie two Jain temples near the Gulzarbagh Railway Station. One of these bears an inscription dated Vikrama 1848 (1792 A.D.). The epigraph records that the temple was constructed by the whole congregation living at Pāšaliputra and was dedicated to Sri-Sthūlabhadra, referred to above. The temples are built on a high mound concealing some ancient ruins. Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
