Shravanabelugola and the Inscriptions The severe draught condition for a period of 12 years in Maghada (South Bihar) in 2nd Century BC brought the Jaina Achraya Srutakevalin Bhadrabahu along with his disciples including the Maurayan King Chandragupta to Katapravara now popularly known as Shravana Belugola. This gives the clue of the draught conditions of nearly 2nd century BC. Place name Shravanabelogola has two terms in it, Shravana and Belugola
Savasa - Shramana - Shravana = Jaina Sanyasin The usual derivation of Belgola is from the two Kannada words bel, white and kola, by euphony gola a pond, evidently in allusion to the splendid pond in the middle of the village and this derivation derives the support from the Sanskrit equivalents Sveta Sarovara, Dhavala Sarovaras and Dhavala Sarovara used in the inscriptions to denote the place. The name Velgola occurs in an inscriptions of about 650, and Belgola in another of 800 AD. Changayya a disciple of Mallisena Bhatara built one of the water ponds. Nagasamudra tank (1200 AD) excavated by Deva Heggade son of Brahmadeva Heggade a disciple of Sri NayaKeerthi Sidddhanta Chakravarti of Kond Kunda lineage.
