31.5. Narasana Nayaka built a Pārsvanātha basadi at Māgodu (ibid., Sa. 55. c. 15th
pp. 100-02]. 31.6. Jakkavve, wife of mahāpradhana Cāvimayya constructed a cenna-Pārśva temple

newly formed district headquarters from 1997 [MAR. 1908. p. 9.1117; MAR 1916-p. 53; ibid., 1927. p. 62; ibid., 1931. p. 42; EC. IV(R) ch. 2 (IV ch 83) 1163 A. D. pp. 4-6]. This temple, a 'trikūta-basadi' olim 'Punisa-jinālaya', was erected
by Punisa-rāja-dandādhipa. 32. Ādaki (Gulbarga Dt) Cenna-Pārsvadeva-basadi olim Koppa-jinālaya enjoyed special
privileges [Gogi, H : 1996 : A. D. 1125, pp. 465-67]. Similarly, Berambādi [EC. III(R) Gu. 218 (IV Gu 96) 14c. pp. 157-58] and Atanür [Gulbarg Dt/Afzalpur Tk. 11th c. A. D). Pārsva temples were very popular. Elsewhere in the State, Gulbarga District alone had mediaeval Pārsva-jinālayas in the following villages : Aland, Gogi, Keśvaragadi, Gavhāra, Jevargi, Cittāpur, Gulbarga, Dandoti, Jevanagi, Degalamadi Nelogi (Nelavagi), Petha-śirūra, Mannūra, Sedam,
Sulepete, Hunasihadagali, Harasūru, Lād-ciñcoli, Rājana-kolūr, et cetera. 33. In South Canara (Mangaļore and Udupi/Dts) there are nearely 20 Pārsva
temples. In Müdabidare, a great Jaina centre, Gurugala-basadi is the pivot of other 18 basadis (SII. VII. 225. 1384). The Pārsva image in this basadi is said to be dated to the tenth century. Besides, there are two Pārsvanätha temples (ARIE. 1941. A-1. p. 5 ff]; one of them is called 'Candogra-Pārsva-deva-basadi', which
received royal patronage from the Alupa kings of Tuluva (Saletore : 1938 : 352]. 33.1. There are seven Pārśva temples at Kārkala alone, each with different
designations : Hallara-basadi, Addakeri-basadi, gummadhikāri-basadi,
Bommarāja-basadi, Bettada-basadi, Eda-bala-basadi, and Ammanavara-basadi. 33.2. At Māļa and its surroundings eight Pārśva temples exist; they are, Eda-bala
basadi, Belli-bidu-basadi (Marodi), Perādi-basadi, Hejmādi-basadi, Padan-gadi
basadi, Dagga-Abbana bettu-basadi, sirva-basadi, and Nallūru-basadi. 33.3. At Venuru there is a Caturvimsati-basadi and a Pārsva-jinālaya olim Kelagina
basadi, Bettada-basadi and Aļadangadi-basadi (Dodda-basadi) at Garadādi; Nidagallu-basadi, vaļālu-basadi at guruvāyanakere; all the four temples at Buveripuddottu including the Sūrālu palace temple; Hattiangadi palace temple, and Pārsvanātha temple at Madurapatla; Padubidri cikka-basadi, triküta kere-basadi, Arekallu-basadi, Ballamanja-basadi, Kūdibailu-basadi, Mijāru-basadi and the
Mañjeśvara-basadi are all Pārśva temples of the later mediaeval period. 33.4. A detailed description of these Pārśva temples based on the field-work and
historical records is beyond the scope of this paper. Therefore, I have given only an exhaustive list.
