² The Jains in very early times had *stūpas* and worshipped at them. Even still the *Samosaranas* in some of their temples at Satrunjaya, Girnar, Abu, etc., are survivals of the earlier *stūpas*. They were also known as *Chaityas*—as *stūpas* are still called in Nepal and Tibet.—Bühler, *Legend of the Jaina Stūpa at Mathurā*, *Epigraphia Indica*, Vol. II, Plates at pp. 314-321; *Actes du Vienna Congres Int. Orient*, Vol. III, part ii, plate at p. 142, and *infra*, part iii, p. 130.
