*Ūrjayat*.—Ūrjayat (Ujjanta) of the Junāgaḍh Inscriptions of Rudradāman and Skandagupta may be identified with the Girnar hill near Junāgaḍh. The Kap Copperplate of Keḷadi Sadāśiva-Nāyaka refers to Ujjantagiri which is Girnar (*E.I.*, XXIV, Pt. V, January, 1938; cf. Fleet, *Gupta Inscriptions*, *C.I.I.*, Vol. III, p. 60). It is also known as Ūrjayatgiri (cf. Junāgaḍh Inscription of Rudradāman). In Luders’ List No. 965 it is called Ūrjayat. This mountain which is sanctified by Śrīnemi is known as Raivataka, Ūrjayanta, etc. This mountain is situated at Surāṣṭra. Vastupāla built three temples here for the good of the world. In the temple of Satruñjaya built by Vastupāla there are images of Ṛṣabha, Puṇḍarīka and Aṣṭāpada (B. C. Law, *Some Jaina Canonical Sūtras*, p. 180).
