________________ 448 Jaina Inscriptions in Tamilnadu Sanskrit, Grantha Language and Script Contents Contains an announcement by a person with the biruda Vadipralaya-bhairava' about his arrival here after defeating all disputants and visiting the Karnā gamandala. Near this inscription are found, carved in lowrelief, a pair of sandals, and in depression, an dsana. Reference ARE, 103/1937-38. Remarks This record also can not be definitely attributed to the Jains, as the term Bhairaya generally refers to a mendicant or to the deity of the Kāpālika subsect of Saivism. However, the title Vadipralaya--bhairava' (a Bhairava of disputants) was borne by Jaina monks also. ARE, 1937-38, pt. II, p. 79.
