Many of the feudatories and officers of the Rāṣṭrakūṭas were also Jains. Most of the Raṭṭa rulers of Saundatti were followers of Jainism, as pointed out already. (180) Bankeya, the Banavasi governor of Amoghavarsha I, was a Jain; he got the imperial sanction for the alienation of a village to a Jain establishment at his capital. (181) Bankeya's son Lokāditya is described by his preceptor Guṇachandra as the propagator of the religion founded by Jina; and S'rīvijaya, a general of Indra III, was a Jain and a patron of Jain literature.
