Birthplace of one Tīrthaṅkara · Sauripur
Śauryapura
शौर्यपुर
Neminātha's city, on the Yamunā: the city of the Yādavas, and so Kṛṣṇa's kin.
By Hemacandra's reckoning, as the atlas carries it, Neminātha was born here. Sauripur, by Bateshwar on the Yamunā in Agra district, is the tradition's Śauryapura, the Yādava city before the move to Dvārakā. The identification is the tradition's.
The dot on the map is Sauripur, by Bateshwar on the Yamunā, Agra district; the identification is the pilgrimage tradition's. Every site in this chapter is graded the same way, and the section says why.
