A peep into the Manuscript Library of the present day Jaina Math at Moodabidri can give us the idea of this feature.
Here the Gangas, the Rastrakūtas, the earlier Hoysalas, the Kongalvas, the Cengalvas, etc. are note-worthy. Some of the Eastern Calukya monarchs were Jainas by persuasion, a fact that reflects the universal appeal of Mahavira's gospel. Like the Vaddaradhene, wherein the gaha is repeatedly quoted in the contexts of sermons and dogmatical discussions.
