The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c32.41

v1.c32.41

'This Jaina darsana is, as before, entitled to the five great musical instruments and the kalasa (or vase). If loss or advancement should be caused to the Jaina darsana through the bhaktas, the Vaishnavas will kindly deem it as loss of advancement caused to their (own darsana). The Sri Vaishnavas will to this effect kindly set up a sasana in all the bastis of the kingdom. For as long as the sun and the moon endure, the Vaishnava creed will continue to protect the Jaina darsana. The Vaishnavas and the Jainas are one: they must not be viewed as different. Tatayya of Tirumula (Tirupati) by consent of the blessed people (the Jainas) of the whole kingdom, will, out of the money levied at the rate of one anna a year for every house according to the door from the Jainas throughout the whole kingdom for the bodyguard to be appointed by Vaishnavas at the holy place Belugula (Sravana-Belgola), appoint twenty servants as bodyguard for the god, and with the remainder of the money have the dilapidated Jinalayas (the Jaina temples) whitewashed. In this manner, for as long as the sun and moon last, will they without failure pay every year and acquire fame and merit. He who transgresses this rule shall be a traitor to the kings, a traitor to the sangha and the samudaya. If an ascetic or chief of a village destroys this charity, he shall incur the sin of having slaughtered a tawny cow and a Brahman on the banks of the Ganges" 1.
