P. 203. Jainism prevailed in Mysore before the third cent. B.c. and it continued a popular faith during more than a thousand years of the Christian era. It was the State creed in the time of Gangas, of some of the Rashtrakūtas and Kalachuryas and of the early Hoysaļas. Also of the minor states of Punnata, of the Santaras, the early Changalvas and the Kongalvas. But the Chola conquests in 1004, the conversion of the Hoysaļa King in 1117 and the assasination of the Kalachurya King in 1167 were severe blows to its influence. In an endeavour to accomodate itself to the age, Jina is described in 1151 as Siva, Brahma, Buddha and Vishnu; and for a generation following we find chieftains who were supporters of all the four creeds.
