(5) Belgami Inscription, Mysore State, S. 1216 (or 1218). Grant of lands to Jaina temples and to basadis.

(2) Kolhapur Parsvanatha Temple Inscription, S. 1058. Creation of basadi by Mahasamanta Nimbadevarasa.
(3) Kolhapur Inscription, S. 1065. Grant by Mahamandalesvara Vijayadityadeva for the worship of Parsvanatha.
