________________ 146 MEDIÆVAL JAINISM Dançanāyaka ;1 and "a moon in causing to swell the ocean of gifts to all the Jina temples in the Ganga country.” The third Jaina general under king Narasimha was Santiyanna. He was the son of Pārişanna and Bammaladevi. This lady was the daughter of Mariyāne Dandanāyaka II. She is said in the lithic record dated A.D. 1159 to have been like Attimabbe in devotion. Her husband is called a Great Minister and Treasurer of the pattisa (a kind of spear). It is said of him that in the war with Ahumalla he destroyed the hostile forces which came close but died in the battle for his royal master king Narasimha. On this occasion Karigunda in Nirgundanād was granted (evidently to śāntiyanna) together with the lordship (of the same). This was obviously as war-relief to the son of the loyal general Pārsvadeva who had died in State service. Sāntiyaņņa was the lay disciple of Mallaşena Pandita, who was the disciple of Vasupujya Siddhāntadeva. On being raised to the rank of a Daņdanāyaka, and on receiving the lordship of Karigunda, Sāntiyaņņa constructed a basadi there and granted specific lands for the same. On this occasion Malla Gauda and all the subjects were present, and they too granted the dues on the ferry in that village and the kaļavatta (or share of grain at the threshing floor) for the temple repairs, god's worship, and gifts of food for the sages in that basadi. These gifts were made over by the citizens to Mallaşeņa Pandita.3 Another Jaina general of the reign of king Narasimha was īśvara Camūpati. He was the son of the Great Minister. Sarvadhikāri, and Senāpati-dandanāyaka Ereyangamayya. īśvara Camūpati repaired the basadi on the Mandāra hill, 1. E. C. II, 64, p. 18 op. cit. 2. Ibid., 349, p. 153. 3.
