PREFACE On the Occasion of the Mahamastakabhisheka ceremony of Gommatesvara I am happy to be associated with the function by being called upon by Shri Raj Krishen Jain, the author of this guide on Sravana Belgola, to write a preface to it The colossal statue of Gommatesvara on the top of the Vindhyagiri hill at Sravana Belgola, Mysore, represents Bahubali, son of Rishabhadeva, the first Jaina Tirthankara, through his wife Sunanda The golden age of Jainism in South India in general and in Karnataka in particular was under the Ganga Kings who made Jainism their state religion The great Jaina Acharya Simhanandi was not only instrumental in laying the foundation of the Ganga kingdom but acted also as an adviser to Kongunivarman I, who was the first Ganga King. While Madhava II (540-565 AD.) made grants to the Digambara Jainas, Durvinita (605-650 AD) sat at the feet of the venerable Pujyapada and Durvinita's son, Mushkara (650 AD) made Jainism the state religion. Ganga kings who followed, were zealous patrons of Jainism Chamunda Raja who was a General of the army of the Ganga king Marasimha III (961-974 AD) erected the colossal statue of Bahubali at Sravana Belgola It is said of Marasimha III that he crowned his life with the highest sacrifice a Jaina may offer to his faith, viz. death by sallekhana Rajamalla I

Page #10
8 (817-828 AD) founded Jaina caves at Vallimallai in North Arcot District of Madras state and his son Nitimarga I was a great Jaina. The story of Bahubali's renunciation and deep penance has received adequate emphasis at the hands of a very appreciative Jaina world which has given him and his ideas immortality by fashioning out of living rock a colossal statue of him in the manner that he stood out for the cause of renunciation, devotion, nonviolence and supreme bliss The statue is silhoutted against a background of vastness, achievement and mystic ecstacy and a foreground of time, distance, devotion and eternity Though similar colossal statues of Bahubali are also hewn out of the living rock at two other places, Karkal and Venur in South India, the one in Sravan Belgola is easily the best being the most attractive The history of Bahubali's statue takes us to the very interesting history of Jainism in South India. According to a Jaina tradition duly recorded in the inscriptions at Sravana Belgola, Bhadrabhu I, who was the last Sruta-kevali, led the Northern Jainas, 12000 in number to South India in the time of the Maurya Emperor Chandragupta Chandragupta is said to have joined the migrating party. The date of this migration is, as Prof Jacobi has estimated, probably a few years before 297 BC Bhadrabahu I died on the way at Chandragiri hill before he could complete the migration The importance of this migration is due to the

Page #11
fact that it is really the starting point for an account of South Indian Jainism The initial fact of Digambara tradition is the division of Jainas into Svetambara and Digambara, which starts from here Bhadrabahu's migration in the company of Chandragupta Maurya was followed by other missions to the south such as that of Kalakacharya and of Visakhacharya The latter was an eminent Digambara preacher who penetrated Chola and Pandya countries in South India The spread of Jainism in the Tamil country received impetus on the advent of another great Acharya called Kundakunda who was evidently a Dravidian and in fact the first in almost all the genealogies of the Southern Jainas The Imperial Courts of Kanchipura and Madura gave sufficient patronage to the spread of Jainism in the Tamil country When the Chinese pulgrim Yuan Chwang visited these two cities in the 7th century AD, he found in Kanchipuram a majority of Digambara temples and at Madura a number of Digambaras. It is accepted by historians that from the beginning of the Christian era down to the epochmaking conversion of the Hoysala King Vishnuvardhana by the Vaishnava Acharya Ramanuja in the 12th century AD, Jainism was the most powerful religion in the South, and the most attractive and acceptable too. One of the Pallava Kings of Kanchipuram, Mahendravarman I (600-630 AD), a few Pandya, Western Chalukya, Ganga, Rashtrakuta, Kalachuri and Hoysala Kings were Jainas.

Page #12
10 Regarding Mahendravarman I, there is a tradition that he was originally a Jaina and later on converted to Saivism by the Saiva Saint Appar, himself a Jaina in the earlier part of his life when he was called Dharmasena 66 27 Nedumaran alias Kun-Pandya, a Pandya King of the 8th century AD was a Jaina and according to Saiva literature in Tamil he is said to have been retrieved from the clutches of Jainism by the great Saiva Saint Sambandha. Kakusthavarman (430-450 A D.), Mrigesavarman (475-490 AD), Ravivarman (497-537 AD) and Harivarman (537-547 A D.) are a few among the many Kadamba Kings of Banavasi in Karnataka, who, though themselves Hindus, were systematically eclectic and favoured Jainism as the religion of many of their subjects Kakusthavarman ends one of his inscriptions by reverencing Rishabhadeva, the first Tirthankara His grandson Mrigesavarma gave some fields at Vaijayanti to the divine supreme Arhats'. upon another occasion divided the village of Kalavanga into three parts and distributed them as follows: the first he C gave to the great god Jinendra', the second for the enjoyment of the sect. called Svetapatha and the third HH 'to. Ravivarma < (Svetambaras) the Nirgranthas' (Digambaras) granted a village so that the glory of Jinendra should be celebrated regularly every year' at Palasika (Halsi). Harivarma also made several grants to the Jainas ". The Early Chalukyas or the Western Chalu

Page #13
kyas as they are better known, were noted for their patronage of Jainism Three great Jaina Acharyas, Gunachandra, Vasuchandra and Vadiraja came under the patronising hand of Jayasimha I Pulakesi I (550 AD) and his son Kirtivarman I (566-97 AD) gave grants to temples of Jinendra Kirtivarman's son Pulakesi II (609-642 AD was the great patron of the renowned Jaina poet Ravikirti who composed the Aihole record wherein Ravikirti is compared to Kalidasa and Bharavi for poetic skill. The Aihole record also tells us that a stone temple of Jinendra was built by Ravikirti, "who had acquired the greatest favour of Satyasraya (Pulakesi) whose commands were restrained by the threc oceans " Pujyapada's pupil, Niravadya Pandita (Udayadeva) was a Raja-guru or spiritual adviser of Jayasimha II and of Vinayaditya (680-697 AD) Vijayaditya (696-733 A.D) son of Vinayaditya gave Niravadya Pandita a village for the upkeep of a temple of the Jina And his son, Vikramaditya II (733747 AD) made extensive repairs to a temple of Jina and gave a grant in connection with it to another Jaina ascetic, Vijaya Pandita But the real Golden Age of Jainism was under the Gangas and it was already remarked that it was Chamunda Raja, the General of Marsihma III, who gave us the immortal statue of Bahubali at Sravana Belgola The Gangas in short were staunch Jainas The Rashtrakutas were great patrons of Jainism Govinda III (798-815 AD) was a to me and made exis son, the upkeen save axaditya

Page #14
patron of a great Jaina teacher called Arikirti His son Amoghavarsha I (814-878 AD) sat at the fect of a great Jaina Acharya called Jinasena, who was the preceptor of Gunabhadra and wrote the Jaina Harivamsa, the first recension of which was completed in 783-4 AD in the time of Govinda III, and a portion of the Adi-purana, which was part of the Jaina Maha Purana while Gunabhadia completed Adi Purana by writing the second part of the Mahapurana in 897 AD, in the reign of Amoghavarsha's successor, Krishna II (880-911-12 AD). Among Jaina works that were written at the Rashtrakuta capital, mostly under the patronage of Amoghavarsha I, mention may be made, besides Harivamsa, Adz-purana and Uttara-purana of Akalanka Charita, Jayadhavalatika, a work on Digambara philosophy by Virasenacharya, a mathematical work called Sarasamgraha or Ganitasarasamgraha by Viracharya, and a treatise on moral subjects entitled Prasnoitararatnamalika, the authorship of which is attributed to Amoghavarsha himself In short it is said of Amoghavarsha I that he was the greatest patron of Digambara Jainism and that he adopted the Jaina faith In the reign of Krishna II his subjects and tributary chiefs either built or made grants to Jaina temples already built, doubtless under his pationage, and the Taina purana (Maha-purana) was consecrated in Saka 820 by Lokasena, the pupil of Gunabhadra. Though the Chalukyas of Kalyani did not take favourably to Jainism, we have the noble

Page #15
13 example of Somesvara I (1042-1068 AD who according to an inscription of Sravana Belgola is described as conferring the title of Sabdachaturmukha on a great Jaina teacher, Swami. This Somcsavara is called in the inscription Ahavamalla The Chola Kings of the Tamil country have often been supposed to have opposed Jainism This is not true as many of the Chola inscriptions such as at Jina-Kanchi will go to show The learning of the Jaina Acharyas was appreciated and great Acharyas like Chandrakirti and Anavtviryavaman, were patronised The Jaina temples at Jina-Kanchi received lavish endowments and grants at the hands of the Chola Kings Tribhuvanamalla Bijjala (1156-67 AD) the founder of the Kalachuri Dynasty, had the figure of a Tirthankara in all his grants and was a Jaina himself Later on he came under the evil influence of his minister Basava, the founder of the Lingayata sect When Basava found that Bijjala did not agree with him to persecute Jainas, he had the king murdered stealthily The Hoysalas of Mysore were great Jainas Vinayaditya II (1047-1100 AD) the first historical person of this dynasty, owed his rise to power to a Jaina ascetic named Santideva Santaladev, the wife of Vishnuvardhana alias Bitti (1111-1141 AD) was a lay disciple of a Jaina teacher, Prabhachandra, while Vishnuvardhana's minister Gangaraja and Hulla, a minister of Narasimha I (1143-73 AD) are specifically

Page #16
cited as " two out of three very special promoters of the Jaina faith" Thus there seems to be no doubt that the early Hoysalas were Jainas and that the later Hoysalas from Bitti ownards were converted to Vaishnavism mainly because of Ramanuja's personality Bitti, who was perhaps the greatest ruler of the dynasty, was "a fervent militant Jaina down to the time when he was converted to Vaishnavism by Ramanuja", an event which came to happen by a miracle as Vaishnava literature has it. Much reliance cannot be placed on the traditional account that the new convert persecuted the Jainas, being directed to do so by Ramanuja, for we learn that his wife Santaladevi remained a Jaina and continued to make grants to the Jainas with the king's consent, and that Gangaraja, his minister, whose services for Tainism are well known, continued to enjoy the king's favour. Moreover he himself is said to have endowed and repaired Jaina temples and to have afforded protection to Jaina images and priests It is claimed for Vishnuvardhana--the name adopted by him after his conversion-that his reign was one of great toleration that continued even during the reigns of his successors. His successors, though themselves Vaishnavites, are said to have built Jaina temples (bastis ) and to have protected Jaina Acharyas Such are for instance Narasimha I (1143-73 AD), ViraBallala II (1173-1220 AD.) and Narasimha III (1254-91 AD). The Vijayanagara kings were always noted

Page #17
for their highly tolerant attitude towards religions and were therefore patrons of Jainism too. Bukka I (1357-1377-8 AD), is spoken off for the Jaina-Vaishnava compact that he was able to effect during his reign. This by itself speaks for the patronage that Jainism received at the hands of the early kings of Vijayanagara Bhimadevi, the queen of Deva Raya I, is said to have been a disciple of a Jaina teacher Abhinava-Charukirti-Panditacharya and to have installed an image of Santnatha at Sravana Belgola Irugappa, the general of Bukka II (13851406 AD is referred to in an inscription at Hampi as having built a temple for the 17th Tirthankara Kunthunatha in 1385 AD, and a Music-Hall in the Jaina temple at Jina-Kanchipuram in 1387-88 AD Inscriptions in the latter temple of the Vijayanagara King Krishnadeva Raya ( 1510-29 A D ) refer to the king's tolerant spirit and endowments to Jaina temples. Almost all the rulers down to Rama Raya made grants to Jaina temples and were tolerant enough. Such has also been the attitude of the feudatory and minor rulers under the Vijayanagara kings and of the ruling house of Mysore towards Jainism, an attitude which luckily continued down to the present day. It is said that some of the minor powers like the rulers of Gersoppa and the Bhairavas of Karkal "professed the Jaina faith and left monuments of importance in the history of Jaina art".

16 . What is the message of Jainism or for the matter of that what do the colossal statue of Bahubali at Sravana Belgola and elsewhere and of the figures of the 24 Tirthankaras reveal ? Jainism, so called because its founder was a Jina or Victor', attempts to raise man to godhood and to inspire him to reach it by steady faith, right perception, perfect knowledge and above all by a spotless life. Jainism believes in godhood and speaks of innumerable gods The story of the religion founded by Lord Mahavira is a story of 25 centuries, spreading over the whole of India, with its centres of activity still maintained in Gujrat, Mathura, Rajasthan, Bihar, Bengal, Orissa, Deccan, Mysore and South India While saints and scholars ennobled the religion, the Jaina merchants vied with each other in erecting myriad temples, some of which are the glories of the religious architecture of India Vardhamana or Mahavira and the earlier Tirthankaras spread, like Lord Buddha, in India a gospel of Moksha or liberation free from ritual and based on love and reason The advent of these teachers synchronised with a mighty political revolution that shook entire India, that replaced clans by states, and prepared the way for an Empire transcending States. Mahavira, founded an ascetic order or brotherhood, governed by a system of rules and standing on the sheet-rock of an edifying doctrine of absolute sanctity of life, called Ahimsa Ahimsa doctrine-Ahimsa paramo dharamah His

Page #19
reverberated in the cntirc Universe and spread like wild fire through an age of 25 centuries till it fascinated Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of Modern India It is no exaggeration to say that on this famous doctrine of Ahimsa or Non-violence, the Mahatma built a New India, the Young India of to-day. I am sure this book on Sravan Belgola by Shri Raj Krishen Jain will interest all visitors to the celebrated monument, as it contains all the details necessary for correct understanding of the spirit of this colossal statue NEW DELHI 15th January, 1933 T.
