Source: OpenEdition books: Vividhatīrthakalpaḥ (Kāvya)Ajjarakkhia (अज्जरक्खिअ) in Prakrit (= Āryarakṣita in Sanskrit) is the name of an ancient teacher mentioned in the Vividhatīrthakalpa by Jinaprabhasūri (13th century A.D.): an ancient text devoted to various Jaina holy places (tīrthas).—Accordingly, “Satisfied with the master’s answers, Sakka pays him homage. Ajjarakkhia asks him to stay a moment, to strengthen the faith of his disciples. “It’s impossible, because of their unreliable nature”, Sakka replies; but, failing this, he consents to leave a material sign of his passage on earth: the door turned in another direction”.
