366 Lieut.-Colonel Mixes on the Jainas of Gujerat and Marwit. 
became famous for his sanctity and works, and in his time his followers 
were first denominated the Vaddhi Pac’ha. 
Of the name A’nchlii, which they afterwards received, there are two 
derivations ; one from auchala, a cloth or handkerchief which they raise to 
their heads when saluting their priests, a mode of salutation said to have 
been practised by the gods; the other is from the word achala, signifying 
immoveable. ‘The reason of the latter is related as follows : 
Jayasinua, the chéla of Arya Rac’nart Su'nt, visiting Pattan during the 
reign of Raja CumAra PAra (the nephew of Sapra Jaya Sryna, who was 
converted to the Jaina faith by the celebrated HimAcuArya): this prince 
attended to hear him preach, and, as was his custom, informed him that if 
he kept the Punam, or the full moon, on the 14th of the month, he might 
remain, but if not he must depart. It happened that Jayasinna was then 
repeating certain lines as his text, and therefore requested to be informed 
whether he would be allowed to conclude his discourse or not. CumAra 
PALA not conceiving so apparently trifling a concession of any importance, 
gave him permission to proceed ; and on returning to his palace, he men- 
tioned the circumstance to HimacuArya, who told him, on hearing the 
text, that he believed the lecture would take twelve years to its completion : 
this proved to be the case. However, Cum ira PAxa, it is said, kept his 
promise, and even attended the A’cuArya’s discourse as long as it con- 
tinued ; and from this circumstance, gave this sect the name of achala or 
immoveable. 
During the spiritual government of DuamMarat’Ha Su'r, in S. 1660, 
A.D.1604, the separation of the sects denominated Gowraca and Bhatt <raca, 
took place, the Jatis of those schisms not relishing the severity of the 
A cuArya’s discipline. 
There are three sects of A’nchlias : the Bhat't'uraca, Gowraca, and the 
A'nchlia proper. They boast that at some former periods three other sects 
of Jainas have been converted to their opinions, viz. the T’harolia Vam 
Guchcl’ha, the Négindra Guchch’ha, and the Digambara Silveys of Pattan. 
The following peculiarities in their tenets are detailed : 
Ist. In common with the Lica, Péinamii, Sad’h Piinamia, and A'gamia 
sects, they are said to keep the Pac’hi or full moon on the 15th instead of 
the 14th day, and to conclude the fast of the Pajusan on the 5th instead of 
the 4th Bhidarwasid. The distinction arises from a close attention to the 
Tit’hs or lunar division of time, which is in some measure neglected by others.
