History[edit]

The Malla Puranam text describes area history. It may be dated to 13th century using a linguistic analysis of Jain texts.^[1] However it is argued that it may belong to the 15th century since Vaishnavism became common in Gujarat as a result of the rise of Pushtimarga in the 15th century.^[2] Malla Puranam can be regarded to be a Caste Purana.^[3]
