Chavundaraya
Chavundraya or Chamundaraya (Kannada ''Cāmuṇḍarāya, Cāvuṇḍarāya'', 940–989) was an Indian military commander, architect, poet and minister. He served in the court of the Western Ganga dynasty of Talakad (in modern Karnataka, India). A person of many talents, in 982 he commissioned the construction of the monolithic statue of Bahubali, the Gomateshwara, at Shravanabelagola, an important place of pilgrimage for Jainism. He was a devotee of the Jain Acharya Nemichandra and Ajitasena Bhattaraka and was an influential person during the reigns of Marasimha II Satyavakya, (963–975). Rachamalla IV Satyavakya, (975–986) and Rachamalla V (Rakkasaganga), (986–999).
A courageous commander with the title ''Samara Paraśurāma'' (''lit'', "Battle-Rama wielding an ax"), he found time to pursue his literary interests as well and became a renowned writer in Kannada and Sanskrit.〔Kamath (2001), p45〕〔Sastri (1955), pp356-357〕 He wrote an important and existing prose piece called the ''Chavundaraya Purana'', also known as ''Trishasthi Lakshana Purana'', in Kannada (978) and the ''Cāritrasāra'' in Sanskrit. He patronised the famous Kannada grammarians Gunavarma and Nagavarma I and the poet Ranna whose writing ''Parusharama Charite'' may have been a eulogy of his patron.〔 Because of his many lasting contributions, Chavundaraya is an important figure in the history of medieval Karnataka.
==Origin==
In his writing, he claims he was from the ''Brahmakshatriya'' ''Vamsa'' (Brahmin converted to the Kshatriya caste).〔Kulkarni (1975) in Adiga (2006), p195〕The 10th century Algodu inscription of the Mysore district and the Arani inscription from the Mandya district provide more information on the family genealogy of Chavundaraya. It states that Chavundaraya was the grandson of Govindamayya who is praised for his knowledge and Dharma and was the son of Mabalayya, a subordinate of King Marasimha II. Mabalayya and his brother Isarayya are praised for their prowess in the inscription.〔Gopal et al. (1976) in Adiga (2006), p196〕 It is believed that their political position under King Marasimha II may have led to a gradual adoption of Kshatriya status by this Brahmin family.〔Adiga (2006), p196〕
An inscriptional eulogy of Chavundaraya on the ''Tyagada Brahmadeva Pillar'' at Shravanabelagola (which has beautiful engravings and relief representing Chavundaraya and his guru Nemichandra at the base) praises him thus,
