Ujjayanta—Mount Girnar, close to Junagar in Kathiawar. It is sacred to Neminātha, the twenty-second Tīrthaṅkara of the Jainas (Mahābhārata, Vana, ch. 88; Hemachandra). The temple was repaired by Sajjana during the reign of Siddharāj, king of Paṭṭana or Anahillapattana (Tawney’s Prabandhachintāmaṇi, p. 96). Ujjayanta is mentioned in this work as a synonym of Raivataka. See Girinagara. In the Rudra-daman inscription of Girnar, Ujjayanta is written as Urjayata (JASB., 1838, p. 340).
