#ISTORICAL SURVEY
Haryadika (Hiréyadka in Udipi Tāluk) there was a Basti with a copper image-which was carried to Jamālābād by orders of the late Sultan and there, together with others, converted into coin or cast into guns."255 When the British took charge of the District, Major Munro appears to have increased the grant of the temples to 207 pagodas; but Revenshaw again reduced it to Tipoo's minimum of 90,~" to be collected as a small tax from the farmers.” Buchanan who supplies these details, also adds, "As this collection is done by people who consider the Jainas heretics, very little will reach their hands. The free lands of the Jainas were resumed and not given to them even on the payment of the land-tax, as to others, owing to Brāhmaṇs acting as revenue officers.");
