ABSTRACT This paper examines the programme of installing icons and inscriptions by members of the Jain religious community in the fifteenth century at the site of Gopālagiri, the prominent mountain occupying central Gwalior. I look at how this project provided opportunities for Jain patrons to literally inscribe themselves into the natural, social, and sacred landscape as benefactors to the community. In this way, I look at forms of memory construction and the ways in which they are encoded in the local landscape through the archaeological and epigraphic record. An analysis of the data obtained from this project further reveals that it was mobilized by a socio-religious network consisting of merchants, monastics, scholastics, and religious clerics. In this context of patronage, I also present a case study of one of the sculptures found here and provide an updated analysis of its inscription in order to reconstruct the circumstances of its production.

刻画社会和神圣景观:中世纪瓜廖尔的Ja那教纪念碑及其纪念碑

摘要本文研究了十五世纪the那教社区成员在戈瓦拉尔(占瓜廖尔中部的著名山峰)古帕拉吉里(Gopālagiri)遗址安装图标和题字的程序。我看一下这个项目如何为Ja那教的赞助者提供机会,将他们真正铭刻在自然,社会和神圣的风景中,成为社区的受益者。通过这种方式,我研究了记忆构造的形式以及通过考古和史学记录在当地景观中对它们进行编码的方式。对从该项目获得的数据进行的分析进一步表明,它是由商人,僧侣,学者和宗教牧师组成的社会宗教网络动员的。在这种惠顾的背景下,
