Section 6. Account of a Jain a matam and of an ascetic, or hierophant 

 of the Jainas. 



(This section is Canarese in Mahratta characters). 



Formerly what is now termed Ahobala matam was a Jaina-matam, 

 that is shrine, or monasteriurn of Jainas. Some time subsequently 

 Chamundi rayer, of the race of Pandurayen, went to inspect the wil- 

 derness called Bivar-gov, and in the midst of it, clearing some ground 

 he built a fane to Gostesvara; while the celestials came and performed 

 all the usual ri;es. But the image of Gostesvara, assumes! the habit of 

 a Jaina image ; and in different other places Jaina fanes were formed ; 

 several of which are specified, at the close of this brief paper, of only 

 four pages. 



Section 7. Account of Beleti, in the Sonda country, and of a race of 

 kings. 



An accountant, through defect of posterity, was going to do penance 

 in the wilderness where he met with the fane of Gostesvara svami ; to 

 which he paid homage ; and by doing so, obtained two sons, who on 

 growing to manhood fought with a neighbouring Vedar-raja, and took 

 his country; over which they ruled. They were named Andaoadiyar, 

 and Andana-vadiyar, and ad op led the Jaina credence. One or two 

 names of their posterity follow. The country was conquered by Bha- 

 dra-nayak ; and his race succeeded, to wit, Basavapa-nayak (one ille- 

 gible name), Soma-sancara nayak, Vira-Bha ha nayalc. They divided 

 the country into two petty sovereignties. These increased tlWr domi- 

 nions : and took Sirisi, with other forts. The boundaries of their rule 

 are specified. 



Section 8. Account of some Jainas, who came by sea from the Ban- 

 ga-desam. 



Some tribes of Jainas, styled Samuntar (as I suppose Samunas) came 

 on board ship from Banga desa, under the rule of Anga-raja, and Ajala- 

 raja. These conquered, and took possession, of some country ; of which 

 the revenues are stated ; the names of towns so captured are Cudiyalu 

 and Baracur. After some time a chief named Bakhtyala fought with 

 them ; and, having conquered them, they went away to Udapu. 



Remark.— This small fragment of two pages, may turn out to be of 

 some use. Cudiyalu I believe to be the same as Mangalore; and 

 Baracur, a town near Udapu, is stated to be a country *or place between 

 Mangalore and Golcernam. Bangu desa, I have usually understood to
