Remarks
This is an interesting record as it reveals the importance of Hosûr, called Sevidaipādi, as a jaina centre in medieval times. The temple is said to have been built by Gangippayyan, the son of Sri-BhūchandraSiddhanandidevar. The land endowed to the Pārávanātha temple is mistakenly referred to as dēvadana. (should be palļichchandam) See, ARE, 1970-71, p. 9.
