Sumati-Jñāna me to identify some of the ancient places mentioned in Jaina literary texts with their modern counterparts. I apologise to the scholars and readers if these are not found correct.
REFERENCES 1. Kalpasūtra-vrtti (by Samayasundara), Bombay and Surat, 1939, p. 107; Nandisūtra-cūrni, Banaras, 1933, p. 9; Nandisūtra vrtti (by Malaygiri), Bombay, 1924, p. 51; U. P.

It appears to be the modern day Bhuteswara area of Mathura. 4. It refers to an earlier existing folk cult at the site in the form of Yaksa Kuberadevi. 5. It indicates towards the increasing popularity of Mahavira during medieval times in this area. 6. It seems to be Lohavana. 7. It seems to be Maholi. 8. It seems to be Biharavana. 9. It seems to be Tarsi. 10. It seems to be Kota. 11. It seems to be Bhāndira vana (Chharai). 12. It seems to be Khāyara. 13. It seems to be Kaman (Bharatpur district). 14. It seems to be Koyla. 15. It seems to be Bachhavana, sehi. 16. It seems to be Mahavana (near Gokul). 17. All five are more or less known by similar names in Hindu religious cult. 18. It may be a reference to the underground shrine at Bhuteswara Mahadeva temple. 19. Brhtakalpasūtra Bhäşya also mentions it by this name as well as Haribhadrasūri, c. 7h century AD. That there were five stupas at Mathurā can be inferred from Digambara tradition of Pancāstūpānvaya. 20. The other three saiva temples were Rangeswara, Gokarneswara and Pipaleswara. 21.
