________________ THE ANEKĀNTAMATA IN THE EMPIRE 359 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. The Bailangaļi basadi at the latter place seems to have received a gift from a nobleman in A.D. 1542-3.3 The basadi of Lokanātheśvara at Hattiangadi, however, was more important. It received a grant from a Vijayanagara viceroy in the last quarter of the sixteenth century A.D.+ It is not improbable that the locality around Hațţiangadi was of some antiquity.s Perhaps equally important as Hațțiangadi was Kāpu in the Uạipi tāluka. This little town was the seat of a petty chieftain who had the title of Heggade. In A.D. 1556 Madda Heggade of the Pāngāļa lineage was a staunch upholder of the Jina dharma It was he who gave in that year the village of Mallāru to Devacandradeva, the disciple of Municandradeva whose guru was Abhinavavādikīrtideva of the Krāņār gana. 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 1-2.
