11 B. Lewis Rise, Mysore and Coorg from Inscriptions (London, 1909), pp.3-4. 12 For a discussion of the whole question, vide Kailash Chandra Shastri,
op. cit., pp. 342-346. Also see V. A. Smith, Early History of India (Oxford, 1957), p. 154 ; Oxford History of India (Oxford, 1923), pp. 75-76 ; N. C. Raychaudhuri, Political History of Ancient India (6th edition,
Calcutta, 1953), pp. 294-295. 13 Kailash Chandra Shastri, op. cit., pp. 339-340. 14 For a detailed discussion of Varāhamihira's date see my India as seen in
the Brhatsaṁhită of Varahamihira, pp. 4-18. 15 The stories appertaining the Caulukyas come under this category. 16 Prabandha-cintamani, Prakāśa 2, pp. 44-45. 17 Ibid , Prakāśa 2, pp. 34-36. 18 Ibid., Prakāśa 1, p. 11. 19 Prabandha 15, p. 68. 20 G.

D. C. Sircar, Indian Epigraphy (Delhi, 1965), pp. 258-267. 21 Prabandha-kośa, Prabandha 15, p. 72. 22 Ibid., Prabandha 11, p. 54. 23 R. C. Majumdar and A. D. Pusalkar (editors), The Struggle for Empire
(second edition, Bombay, 1966), pp. 54-55. 24 This reminds one of the Buddhist councils only first two of which are
known to the undivided Buddhist church whereas subsequent ones, being of sectarian nature, are mentioned only in the works of the respective
sects. 25 As stated above, the Svetāmbaras place his death 170 years after Mahā
vira's passing away. 26 H. Jacobi, The Kalpasutra of Bhadrabahu, introduction, pp. 10ff.; IA,
vol. ii, p. 245 ; vol. xxi, pp. 57ff. This Bhadrabāhu is mentioned only in the Pațţāvalis, other texts remaining reticent about him. According to some scholars, the episode of the migration of the Jaina community to South India recorded in literature and some late inscriptions from Mysore was connected with Bhadrabāhu II (vide J. F. Fleet in TA. vol. xii, pp. 158ff. ; Kailash Chandra Shastri, op. cit., pp. 350-351). This suggestion
is, however, not well-based. 27 Sat-prabhrta (edited with a Hindi translation by Surajbhan Vakil, Vara
