Chapter 4 CORPUS OF KOPPAĻA INSCRIPTIONS
I shall now confine to a bird's eye view of the contents of the new epigraphs [the number in the brackets indicate the number of the concerned inscription in the printed text, edited by me in Kannada language; e.g., K.1 = Koppaļa charter No.1.]
K.1
Nayanandi bhattāraka of Kondakunda anvaya, Desiga gana, had two disciples, Cinnakabbe and her son Dilipa (?) dandanayaka, a general who had a number of titles such as satya sauca sampannam, Kalikāla Karnan, äśrita kalpa vrkşam, patikārya dakşam, piridittu marevam, nayamam merevam, pati hitānjaneyam, guņada bedangam, niti pārāyaṇam, gadiyanka mallam, ganda pracandam, kirtige nallam, paricchedi gandan etc. He was a bee at the lotus feet of Jina, the conquerer and an occean of virtues, and worshipped the three jewels of Jaina faith (right belief, Ro knowledge, and Ro conduct are the jaina triad). He died on 18-1-1032, Tuesday (saka 953) at Koppaļa by the religious rite of vira sanyasana vidhana, the ritual death by fasting and while in deep meditation.
This inscription belongs to the period of Jagadekamalla Jayasimhadeva (1015-42), the emperor of the Cālukyas of Kalyana. There are two verses used in the epigraph - a kanda and a Campakamāla vịtta. The Nayanandi bhattāraka, worshipped by the kings, also breathed hi at Koppaļa by achieving the Jaina triad (ratnatraya), vide K. 43. An inscription from Hunasi-Hadagali dated C.E. 1099, has mentioned the above Nayanandi monk [KJS: 1996: pp. 230-31). Therefore, the preceptor Nayanandi has died in between A.D. 1031 and 1099, most probably around C.E. 1050.
