. Annals and antiquities of Rajasthan, or The central and western Rajput states of India . nath, the first ofthe twenty-four Jain pontifis : By Sri Adinath, and the twenty- ^ [This has been so altered, remodelled, and ruined that its original formis unrecognizable (Fergusaon, Hist. Ind. Arch. ed. 1910, ii. 170).] ^ [Sunth and Lunavada in Kewa Kantha, Bombay {IGI, xvi. 209 ff.).]3 [The Jain pillar, known as Khawasan Stambha, said to mean Gran-dees pillar, or Kiitti JStambha, pillar of victory, was built by a BagherwalMahajan, or merchant, named Jija in the twelfth or thirteenth century ,and has recently been repaired by tlie Government of India. Fergusaon{Hist. Ind. Arch. ed. 1910, ii. 5J) remarks that the date assigned on the slabmentioned in the text, which is now lost, is much too early. It has beenascribed to Kumarapala of Gujarat ( 1143-74). It probably belongs tothe thirteenth century, and the nude figures show that it was a Digambaramonument, whereas Kumarapala was a kSvetambara. The tradition assign-ing it to Jija Mahajan may be correct (Erskino ii. A. 104).]. !<<<<« > >J> .^ .-• i _ _ oi-f^ - >*^^^-^- -^. -- -
