OTHER JAIN GURUS. 31 have contributed much for the uplift of the Jain world in literature and secular affairs. There was, for example, Simhānandi, the Jain sage, who, according to tradition, founded the state of Gangavādi. Other names are those of Pūjyapāda, the author of the incomparable grammar, Jinēndra Vyākarana, and of Akalanka who, in 788 A.D., is believed to have confuted the Buddhists at the court of Himasītala in Kanchi, and thereby procured the expulsion of the Buddhists from.r South India. An account of some of these Jain missionaries will, no doubt, be interesting but we cannot pursue the subject further. :
