18/ The Rāştrakūtas and Jainism
1.9.2.1. Ascetics of the Jaina monastery, hierarchy of influential Jaina officials and merchants were mainly responsible for the transfer of royal residence from Ellāpura (Ellora) or some other pre-Maļkhēd capital to the Maļkhēd. The city bloomed even to surpass the state house of Indra : Indrapurādadhikam (IA. XII. p. 263].
1.9.3. It is said that Virasēna christened his commentary as Dhavalā after the title of Tribhuvana Dhavalā, ‘of unsullied glory in the three worlds', of king Govinda-III. His other special birudas: Prabhūtavarşa, 'the abundant rainer', Srivallabha, 'the favourite of goddess of fortune', Janavallabha, 'the favourite of the people', and Kirti-Narāyaṇa 'a very Narāyaṇa in respect of fame'. Kannada epigraphs mention his name as Gõyinda, evidently a Prakrit form of Sanskrit Govinda. His queen consort's name was Gāmundabbe, a typical Kannada nomen.
