THE JAIXS. 271 



tlie Jains and Valslinavas. The Jllaharaja, putting 

 the hands of the Jains into the hands of the Vaisk- 

 iiavas, ordered tliat the Jains he permitted to use 

 ' their former and usual oreat drums, as well as the 

 Calakans-nada, wliich had heen taken away by the 

 Bhactas ; and, for tlie performance of this, he or- 

 dered it to be made public, by inscriptions carved 

 upon stones, in the Jain temples, all over the empire, 

 that no distinction, or contradiction, appeared be- 

 tween the religion of the Jains and VaisJmavas : 

 therefore the Vaishnaras should agree to protect them, 

 while the sun and moon endure. Te'rumatia, and 

 the other chief people, then resolved, in token of 

 their good will, that all the Jains, wlio are inha- 

 bitants of the different divisions of the workl, should 

 contribute annually, at the rate of one tanam for 

 each family, to defray the ceremonies of their god 

 at BcUigola Tirtli, and to repair the buildings of the 

 Jinalayas, or temples of Jina. 



By continuing the above 3'early gift for this pur- 

 pose, while the sun and moon remain, will be ob- 

 tained the advantage of great reputation and grace. 

 If any person refuse its execution, he shall go to the 

 Jiell of those who betray their kings and holy reli- 

 gion; and he, who prevents this charity, shall incur 

 the sin of killing a cow, or a Braliinen, on the bank 

 of the Ganga river. 



"^yhoever resumes gifts, in money or lands, grant- 

 ed by himself or others, shall be born as an insect in 

 dung, for sixty thousand years."
