Summary

Description
English: Parsvanatha ayagapata, Mathura circa 15 CE. Source for the 15 CE date Modern image, Fig.18
  • "Both van Lohuizen-de Leeuw and the Japanese scholar Takata Osamu have compared the earliest Buddhist images with the tiny figures of Jinas (Tirthankaras) depicted on some of the early ayaga-patas found at Kanikali Tila, which must have been a major center of Jaina worship. None of these square slabs are dated, but they have been generally attributed to the Saka period. The earliest one may be that here illustrated, whose encircling lotus-creeper is carved in a flat relief style very close to that of a fragmentary door-jamb, found at Mora, whose inscription (L.82a) shows it was executed during the reign of Sodasa (Fig. 3)" Bodhisattvas and Buddhas: Early Buddhist Images from Mathurā, p.110
  • Inscription "Adoration to the Arhats (....) the wife of Shivaghosaka" Plate X
  • "The Parvanatha Ayagapata (fig. 18) and the Namdighosa Ayagapata (fig. 20) are also datable to the early first century A.D., i.e. during the time of Maha-katrapa Sodasa." Ayagapatas: Characteristics, Symbolism, and Chronology p.115
