Ratnapurī

रत्नपुरी

Dharmanātha's city, a short way from Ayodhyā.

By Hemacandra's reckoning, as the atlas carries it, Dharmanātha was born here. Ronahi, west of Ayodhya, is the tradition's Ratnapurī, with a temple to Dharmanātha. The identification is the tradition's.

The dot on the map is Ronahi, Ayodhya district, Uttar Pradesh; the identification is the pilgrimage tradition's. Every site in this chapter is graded the same way, and the section says why.
