ANDHRA KARNATA JAINISM.
Jainas. I venture to regard' the appearance of Kadambagiri or Kadambasingi or their varients among place-names as a sure indication of those places having been originally so described by a Kadamba line of kings or their admiring officials or subjects. They, indicate Kadamba colonization near about and a type of civilisation nourished by them.

Evidence of such place-names is fairly well establishable for the agency trasts of Ganjam and Vizagapatam the newly constituted Agency-Division' in the North-East Coast of the Madras Presidency.

The Parlakimedi Agency of the Ganjam indicative of District has places called Kadamasingi (KadamJaina culture. bastringi) and Muni-Singi suggesting a sacred hill (sacred to Jaina) and a colony of Jaina munis near about it. The place-names are significant and suggestive of religious culture. At a later date, it was in this taluq, that the Kadambas built their capital Vaijayantipura in the plains. Similarly, in the Aska taluq of the Ganjam District there is a village called JayaSingi, possibly named after Jayavarma, the early Kadamba king of 2nd century A.D.(?) or a Kōsala Jayaditya preserved in the traditions of the present-day Andhra-Kshatriyas.

In the Bissamcuttack [Visvambhara (dēva) Kataka] Agency of the Vizagapatam District there are two villages called Kadambaguda and Kakadamba. Guda is the same word as Gudem ", possibly derived from the Dravidian
