THE GOMMATESA-THUDI
Jain Education International
Gommatesa-thudi is a hymn in Prakrit metrically composed in reverence for Lord Gommatesa. It is of considerable importance because it is composed by Nemicandra Siddānta-cakravarti. Cămuṇḍaraya's spiritual teacher and religious counsellor, who had played a notable role in the historic consecration of the Lord's monolithic colossal image, which has been, since then, as good as the presiding deity of Shravanabelgola, converting the place into still a greater centre of pilgrimage and a fascinating spot of tourism.
