In Harishena Kathakosha, it says:

 

upasargam sahityamevam subnadhuvihitam tadaa

samaadhi-maraNam praapaya chaaNakyah siddhimiiyivaan

 

tatah pashchim dig-bhaage divya-kraunacha purasya saa

nishadyakaa munerasya vandyteadyaapi saadhubhih

 

With the upasarga, the muni Chanakya passed away in samadhi marana.

In the eastern part of Kraunchpur, there is a nishadya (memorial),

which is still visited by noble people and revered.

 

Thus at the time of Harishena Kathakosha, a memorial to Chanakya

muni must have existed. It doesn't exist any more.

 

The memorials to Jain monks and other who passed away in samadhi-

marana exist in many places. There are many of them on the

Chandragiri hill at Shravanbelgola, including one for the last

Rashtrakuta king.
