(author of Dharmāmțita ) Asunde: An epigraph from Asuņdi' in the Gadag taluk, furnishes some interesting information, as it speaks of the adıninistration of the village Pasuņdi (modern Asundi) by the preceptor Chandraprabha Bhatára, the high priest of the Dhora Jinālaya at Bankāpura. The village, evidently, was an endowment of the Jaina temple. The inscription is dated in A. D. 925 in the reign of the Răshțrakūta king Nityavarsha, i.e., Indra III. We may inoidentally note the peculiar name of the temple, viz., Dhora. Dhora looks like a derivative from the Sanskrit term Dhruva, and we know that an early prince of the Rashtrakūta family was named Dhruva.
NARRGAL: When the Eastern Ganga prince Būtuga II was entrusted with the administration of some of the northern parts of the kingdom by his ally and brother-in-law, the Rashtrakūta suzerain Kțishņa III, the former appears to have utilised the opportunity to advance the cause of the Jaina religion which was so dear to his heart. The Ganga governor's wife Padmabbarasi constructed a Jaina temple at Narēgal in the Ron taluk; and in the Year A. D. 950 the grant of a tank was made to the charity house attached to
