According to some scholars, the episode of the migration of the Jaina community to South India recorded in literature and some late inscriptions from Mysore was connected with Bhadrabahu II (vide J. F. Fleet in IA. vol. xii, pp. 158ff.; Kailash Chandra Shastri, op. cit., pp. 350-351). This suggestion is, however, not well-based.
