KĀLAKĀCĀRYA (*fl. ca.* 100–50 B.C.). Kālakācārya or Kālikācārya is the name of several Jaina saints. The second, the hero of many legends, is said to have been a contemporary of Gardabhila, who ruled Ujjayinī shortly before Vikrama founded his era in −57. See A. P. Shah, *The Collection of Kalaka Story*, Śrī Jain Kalā Sāhitya Saṃśodhan Series 11, 2 vols., Ahmadabad 1949–1958. He is sometimes confounded with the Vaṅkālaka whose Prākṛt verses are cited by Utpala (fl. 966) and Uddyotana Sūri (fl. 779). See P. V. Kane [1948/49] 27–28; U. P. Shah [1954/55]; [A2. 1955]; and [A2. 1956]; and D. Sharma [1957].
