ting priest Cārukirti Pandita Yogindra had taken refuse at Bhallakipura owing to the harassments of Jaggadevarāya, the ruler of Canna panna. Camarāja, not merely secured the release and restoration of the mortagaged lands but arranged for the return of the Yogi from the latter place, conferred on him many honours including grants of lands and fully restored religious life at the place (Muni Vam. MSS. Pp. 19-22: E.C.11.S.B, 250, p. 106, No.352, 1634, Pp.1556; Annals, p. 60).
P. 191. The author of Munivanśäbhyudaya (stn. 151) tells us that Jainism had such decisive influence upon Chikkadevarāja during the early years of his reign that he observed the absolute sanctity of all life, he gave up certain prohibited things and used only purified water. Among the celebrated ministers Viśālākṣa Pandita was a Jrina.
P. 192. Karnataka has been the home of tolerance from the earliest times. The Jainas of the Magadhan empire led by Bhadarbāhu found refuse in the heart of Mysore.
P. 193. The Sravana Belgoļa inscription of Bukka I (C.1368) where the sovereign impressed upon the Srivaisnavas and the Jainas that there was no difference what ever between the Vaişnava darśana and the Jaina darśana and that the harm or good done to one must be regarded as the harm or good done to the other shows how the conception of religious freedom was held sacred and invisible and increasingly fostered by the Vijayanagar rulers. Such a spirit of enlightened liberalism is best examplified in the invocatory verse in an inscription in the Cannakeśava temple at Belur founded by the Hoysala King Vişnuvardhana.
ram Sairah Samubasate Siva ili ... Arhan etc. The verse immortalised of unity of all faiths.
