Mysore and Coorg from the Inscriptions c14.16

- **Language:** English

### [c14.16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c14.16)

Of Christian records, an old inscription has been found at Ānekal, surmounted by a cross, and referring to the \*Kumbara ane\* or Potters’ dam. Its date is uncertain. But Dominican friars are said to have built a church there in 1400. A stone or stones are also said to have existed at Kānkānhalli recording a grant to the “sannyāsis of Rome.” Nr 46, of about 1530, in relating the successes of the Jain disputant Vidyānanda at various royal courts, says that he destroyed (\*alidu\*) the European faith (\*Peringiya mata\*) of the Viceroy (or Agent—\*Kāryya\*) of Śrīranganagara or Seringapatam, who must, it would thus seem, have been a Roman Catholic Christian.
