Lieut.-Colonel Mixes on the Jainas of Gujerat and Marwar. 363 
There are numerous other differences of opinion and practice, most of 
which would be unintelligible without a commentary. 
4, The Linca, or Richmati Guchch’ha. This sect is divided into several 
congregations, the chief of which separated from the Tupas in S. 1531, or 
2023 after VirAt, or MandAvira, A.D. 14:75. 
5. The Gujerati Lincus. ‘There are said to be nineteen divisions of this 
sect ; those best known are the following : 
Ist. The Mii?’hi Pacha, or Kesowji.

Gujerat : 
Ist. The Nagére Lincas. 
2d. The Utrddi ditto, S. 1541, A.D. 1485.

It happened that one day a Muhammadan sépdhi having exchanged a 
méihmidi at his shop, purchased some partridges with the change, and killed
