The fact that there are documented mentions of Jaiswal Jains prior to settlement of Jaisalmer in 1156 AD means that it is unlikely that the latter migrated from Rajasthan.The famous Dubkund Jain inscription of 1088 AD is the earliest mention of the Jayas town. Apabhramsha Jain poet Lakshman had composed Jinadatta charitra in sam. 1275 and Anuvaya Rayana Payiiva in sam. 1313 both at Tihuangiri near Bayana.[1] Thus the place Jayas must have been in the vicicnity of Agra region.Kalars कलार are members of the subcaste of "distillers of alcohol" within the Indian caste system.
