THE SAMACHARI-SATAKAM.
Mahavira, or Vikrama-samvat 994 (see unte, XI. 253a, n. 35), in which year Sarvadeva-sûri, one of Uddyotana's 84 pupils, was installed as the 36th sûri of the A. The latter's successor was the 37th Padmadêva-sûri, likewise one of Uddyotana's 84 pupils and the first peculiar to the A. After his conversion of the Simkhya-darśaninas, he received a second name, Samkhya-sûri. The new gachchha obtained the name of Sankhesvara-gachchha from Sankheśvara-grâma," a place consecrated to Sankheśvara-Parsvanatha.

Place of pilgrimage, near Radhanpur (Bombay Presidency), see J. F. Baness, Index Geogr. Indicus, alph. ind. See Weber, Ferz.
