Report on the working of the Rajputana Museum for 1934—Delhi, 1935. P. 4 XIII. Amber Jain temple inscription now deposited in the Jaipur
Museum. It is dated Vikram Samvat 1714 (1657 A. d.), Saka (1583) ? (1579). It says that at Ambavati (Amber), the Capital of the country called Dhunda (Dhundhära) there ruled a king called Jayasimha whose chief minister Mohanadāsa belonging to the Khandelavāla family and to Balātkāragana of Mülasangha, built a temple of Vimalanātha at Ambavati and aborned it with a golden kalasa (a rounded pinnacle on the top of a temple). It then mentions that in the Vikram Samvat 1716 when Mahārājadhirāja Mahārāja Jayasimha of Kachchhaväha family was ruling at Ambāvati some additions were made to the temple by his chief minister. These additions seem to have been recorded in the second slab which is missing. The inscription records the names of various mernbers of the chief minister's family as well as those of the Bhattārakas of Müla Sangha.
