the old temple. Kar峁嘺 is further credited by Merutunga with
having built the temple of Kar峁噀艣vara, presumably
temple, at Asapalli, where he also erected another temple
dedidcated to goddess Jayanti. The temples do not exist there
at present. The same author tells us that in Pattana, Kar峁嘺
caused to be built the temple of Kar峁嘺meru, 76 which also does
not exist at present. Kar峁嘺 had three Jain ministers-Munj膩la,
S膩ntu and Udaya (Ud膩). S膩ntu built a temple called Santu -
Vasahik膩 and Uda built a large temple called Udayana-Vih膩ra
at Kar峁嚹乿ati, 77 built by Kar峁嘺 in the vicinity of old As膩palli.
The site of this city seems located round about modern
Kocharab, but the temples do not survive at present. The name
of Munj膩lavasati at A峁噃ilpura, mentioned in the prasasti

(A. D 1084) 79 supply an epigraphical evidence for the
existence of a Jain temple dedicated to Sumatinathadeva
enshrined in the Vasahik膩 (temple) erected by Mah膩m膩tya
Pradyuman in Takavadhi (modern Takodi, Mehsana District).
The temple is extinct since long,
The S膩ntin膩tha temple at Kumbharia
In the arrangement of the plan with few deviations this
temple is very similar to the Mahavira temple discussed above.
Except bal膩naka the temple consists of all the component parts
enumerated in the case of Mahavira temple. It is a complete
