History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v7.c90.223

v7.c90.223

1429a The Varāha mentions (178. 5-7) three temples of the Sun, one to the south of the Yamunā, the 2nd in the middle called Kālāpriya and the third to the west at Mūlasthāna (modern Multān). The Bhaviṣya mentions three important places of sun-worship (viz Mundīra, Kālāpriya and Mitravana). I agree with Mr. Dilipkumar Biswas that Mundīra is modern Modhera in North Gujerat (vide p. 30 of summary of Proceedings of 15th Indian History Congress) where there has been a sun temple for about a thousand years.
