JAINA BIBLIOGRAPHY

K. A. Nilakanta Sastri.--The Colas--Vol. II (Part I). Madras, 1937.
P. 156. The Ganga Chieftain of Kolar, Amarābharana Siyaganga (Süra Nāyaka), a feudatory of Kulottunga III (A.D. 1163-1216), was the patron of the Tamil grammarian Pavanandi, a Jain writer, whose Nannul has practically displaced all other manuals of Tamil granmar.
:
P. 167. The ancient line of Adigaimans of Tagadur--the Samantan Adiyaman; an inscription from Tirumalai says that he renovated the images of a Yakşa and Yakşi near the Jain settlement on the Tirumalai hill originally set up by the Cera king Elini, one of his ancestors (S.I.I.I, 75, E.I.VI, Pp. 331-3).
P. 231. Rajendra I was a Saiva; he destroyed richly endowed Jain bastis in the enemy country (Calukya). The amount of booty that fell into the hands of the Colas as a result of foreign war must have been enormous.
P. 259 & 532. Sekkilar, a Saiva, in his purāņa aimed to please and entertain the contemporary Cola monarch better than the vulgar works of heretical Jains.
P. 279. About A.D. 1227, the village of Sattamangalam had two assemblies, one of them made up of the residents of the Hindu devadana part of the village, and the other of persons in the Jaina Palliccandam; both assemblies were called ür and they cooperated in setting apart some of the village land for projects of public utility (tank, garden, etc.)-466 of 1912.
P. 338. From a record of the time of Räjarāja I, from Tiruppanmalai in the North Arcot Dist. (19 of 1890. E.I. IV. Pp. 137-140), it appears that the village Kurakampadi was an iraiyili-pallic-candam in the enjoyment (bhogam) of the Jaina temple in Tiruppanamalai. The Iļāda Chieftains ruling in the area, turned the Karpūravilai from the temple, and as a result the temple did not have enough for its expenses; the wife of the Ilada Chieftain Vira Sola drew his attention to this fact when they went together to worship in the temple, and he agreed thenceforth to cease collecting the Karpura-vilai, and another cess, called anniyayavaya-danda-irai, of which the exact nature is by no means certain.
P. 464. The mathas, the Jains pallis and the vihara were centres of learning which often owned large libraries of manuscript literature which increased in volume and diversified from generation to generation.
