JAINA BIBLIOGRAPHY Adoni (Sindavadi) and parts of Anantapur and Raichur Taluks, with his capital at Tumbalam,
Though Vikramaditya VI was probably a Jain in religion (he built a basadi when he was governor of Banavasi), he favoured the Kalamukhas (Šaiva); he was catholic in religious patronage.
Baligami, the capital of the Banaväsi 12,000 the Jains held their place in it equally with other religions. One inscription (Nagar 35) dated in 1077 A. D. in Vikramaditya's reign, shows the existence of numerous Jaina philosophical and other literary works in it. A Jain teacher was called Srivijaya, "from giving stras to the learned and their needs to the destitute (ibid)."
Bijjala (1156-1167 A. D.), the Kalachurya was Jain. Basava, the promulgator of the new Saiva faith (Viraśaivas), was his minister. The Bijjala Raya Charita, enshrines the story of these two, according to the Jains.
Basava Purana referes to the Jains and their shortcomings; Ekantada Ramayya a disciple of Basava, persecuted the Jains.
The Kalachurya dynasty did not last beyond a short period of about twenty-seven years. The rise and rapid growth of Viras aivism was one of its chief features. Bijjala was not converted to it. Virasalvism claimed many of the Jain temples and with but a little change, converted Jain images even into the Linga.
About the 3rd century B. c. there were already professing Buddhists and Jains in and about the Chola country.
In the 7th century A. D. Buddhism was in a decaying state, Jainism and Brahminism being in the ascendant.
Sundara Chola's daughter Kundavai built three temples at Dandapuram, one to Śiva, another to Vishnu and a third to Jina called Kundavai-Jinälaya and made costly gifts to them.
Rajaraja I, (985-1013): his sister Kundavai, though a devout Śaiva, her charities extended to Vishnu and Jain temples as well; Kundavai-Jinälaya on the rock close by Tirumalai, ten miles north of Polur; her other benefactions to Jain temples are known (M. F. R. 1887, para 7).
