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 \[1957\].
