JAINISM AT THE PROVINCIAL COURTS 321 and provisions of her family god. But this was done in the constitutional manner of the land. The grant was made in the presence of the former ministers of the Bāguñjisīme, the Brahmans, the cultivators, the nãd representatives, and others. This done, she obtained the sanction of the Kārkaļa king for the same, and then had the stone śāsana engraved. It is interesting to note that on this occasion she added specified lands as gifts to the grant which a boatman named Voļiya had made some time ago also to the same Kalla basadi.
Kāļala Devi's anxiety to endaw the Kalla basadi with grants was not merely an expression of outward piety. She was a broadminded ruler who believed in universal toleration. It is this which explains why the charter commemorating her gifts to the same basadi begins with an invocation to the syād vāda doctrine in the usual Jaina manner, and also with an obeisance to Ādi Varāha sambhu.1
