¹ There are other hints at Jain connections. The Jains have a temple near Pāe Dhūnī (Paidhonī) which shelters an idol of Ghorajīnāth, decked with gems.—S. M. Edwards, *Bombay City Gazetteer*, vol. I, p. 177. Paidhonī is the seat of the Kānphaṭas in old Bombay. The books on Bombay refer to a certain place in the old city as Pāe Dhonī and explain the name as meaning ‘The-Place-of-Feet-Washing.’ It is correct, however, to say that the name of this locality is derived from that of a famous establishment of a sect of the Yogīs.
