The author adds that the śramana Jinabhadrasuri obtained the deteriorated manuscript of Mahāniśīthasūtra and repaired the damaged folios of it; and that went to Bhūtagrhal near Mathurā for the elucidation of the nigoda by the Arya Raksitsūri whose successors Vatsapușyamitra, Ghịtapușyamitra and Durbalikapușyamitra also visited Mathurā.
The description of Vividhatīrthakalpa as well as the excavated materials from Kankālī Tīlā already proves the Devanirmita Thūpa to be identical with the one mentioned in Jaina literature on more than one occasion.

The Brahmanical association is still reflected in the continuing tradition at Bhūteswara Mahādeva temple, one of the most revered Siva temples at south-west corner of ancient Mathurā. 20
