Vijaya 8 of 32
Puṣkalāvatī
पुष्कलावती
Home of Sīmandhar Svāmī, a living Tīrthaṅkara.
Sīmandhar Svāmī is teaching here at this moment — one of the twenty living Tīrthaṅkaras. This vijaya stands at the ocean edge of Mahāvideha Kṣetra, facing its partner across the great river.
The 8th of the thirty-two vijayas, lying north of the Sītā, in East Mahāvideha. Like every vijaya it carries its own Vijayārdha range across the middle, its own pair of rivers, its own six divisions and its own capital, and a cakravartī may rise in it.
It is bounded on either side by a Vakṣaskāra mountains range or an Antaranadī river, and reaches from the great boundary mountain to the bank of the Sītā.
