Jābālipura.—It is in the Jodhpur State, Rajputana. A stone inscription found here records the construction of a Jaina vihāra containing an image of Pārśvanātha on the fort of Kāñcanagiri belonging to Jābālipura (i.e., modern Jalore) (E.I., XI, 54ff.). This ancient town contains two monuments of archaeological interest, namely the Topkhānā in the heart of the town and the fort which crowns a hillock about 1,000 ft. high (A.S.I., Annual Reports, 1930-1934, p. 50).
