like Sangitapura, Mūdubidre, and Gērasoppe which we have already described, there were many smaller places of the Jainas in Tuļuva, as, for instance, Bārakūru, Mülki, PadaPanambūru, Hațțiangaļi and Kāpu. The Adi Paramesvara basadi of Bārakūru, which city was one of the capitals of Tuluva, received material aid from the śāntara king Bhairava in A.D. 1408.1 To the same basadi Cărukīrti Panditadeva made a grant in A.D. 1499-1500.2 The basadis at Mülki and Pada-Panambūru in the Mangalore tāluka, were not of much consequence.

This gift was made for the offerings of Jinapa Dharmanātha (the fifteenth Tīrthankara) of Kāpu. What strikes us is not so much the patronage which the petty ruler of Kāpu gave to the basadi of Jinapa Dharmanātha, as the manner in which he associated his own
