34 : Śramaņa, Vol 66, No. 4, October-December 2015 The inscription records a second grant to the same tample by Mahāmaņdaleśvara king Kaņņa who came to worship at that temple of Jina in the Saka year 1043 (A.D. 1121-2). A third grant was made by Jayakarņa during his father's reign. A fourth grant is made by Nidhiyamagamanda, consisting of a house together with one hundred and fifty kammas of land in the circle of Kuņdī. Besides these grants in this inscription it is said about king Cāmanda, Daņņādhipa of of king Jayakarņa, that he is the granter of the boons to good people, governing the Earth with awards of severe punishment to the wicked and protection to the good.
Thus, the above inscriptions relating to the Ratta Chieftains of Saundatti and Belgaum show many traits of the influence of the Jaina religion upon them. They not only built many Jaina temples and made grants of them but also tried to follow some of the Jaina ideals and if not, then a least, presented themselves in that way in their inscriptions.
