Raivatakagiri1: Nemi was initiated near Chatraśilā. After having attained Kevalajñāņa he obtained salvation on the top of the Avalokana. Having come to know of the salvation-spot from Nemi, Krsna set up Siddha Vināyaka' after his attainment of salvation. Here Kalamegha, Meghanāda, Girividārana, Kapāta, Simhanāda, Khodika and Revayā, seven masters of the field (Ksetrapalas), sprang forth. On the north of the Amba temple is a cave, which contains the image of Girividarana. Here is the Svayamvara lake. Below is a well. At a distance of twenty cubits from the Amba temple is a cave.

In ancient times, in the country of Gurjara, Jayasimhadeva having killed Khangararāja (king of Khangāra), made Sajjana king. He constructed the new temple of Nemi. Vastupala and Tejapala were the distinguished ministers of the king of Gurjara. Mahanadevi, the daughter of the king of Kanyakubja (Kanauj) inherited Gurjara from her father. On her death she became the presiding deity of the place and asked king Viradhavala (in a dream) to appoint Vastupala and Tejapala as his ministers. This was done. Once Vastupala and Tejapala went on a pilgrimage to Satruñjaya with the permission of Tejapala's wife, Anupamādevi. Vastupala disbursed the whole amount in the tirthas of Satruñjaya and Ujjayanta. Tejapala constructed a beautiful town called Tejalapura in Girināra (Girnar) and built the temple of Parsvanatha named Asarajavihāra after the name of his father. He also excavated a beautiful lake known as Kumārasara after the name of his mother. On the east of Tejalapura a fort called Ugrasenagad and a Jina temple were sanctified by Yugādi-natha. On the north
It is the mount Girnar near Junagarh in Gujarat.
