Mayurasharma
Mayurasharma ((カンナダ語:ಮಯೂರಶರ್ಮ)) (or Mayurasharman, Mayuravarma ((カンナダ語: ಮಯೂರವರ್ಮ))) (r.345–365 C.E.), a Brahmin scholar and a native of Talagunda (in modern Shimoga district), was the founder of the Kadamba Kingdom of Banavasi, the earliest native kingdom to rule over what is today the modern state of Karnataka, India.〔Kamath (2001), p30〕〔Moraes (1931), pp9-10〕 He took the name of Mayuravarma to emphasise his change from the Brahmin to the Kshatriya caste. Before the rise of the Kadambas, the centres of power ruling the land were outside of the Karnataka region; thus the Kadambas' ascent to power as an independent geo-political entity, with Kannada, the language of the soil as a major regional language, is a landmark event in the history of modern Karnataka with Mayurasharma as an important historical figure. The earliest Kannada language inscriptions are attributed to the Kadambas of Banavasi.〔Ramesh (1984), p2, pp10-11〕
==Early life==
There are several legends and tales that describe the progeny of the Kadamba family. One legend states the family descended from a three-eyed, four-armed being called ''Trilochana Kadamba'' who sprang to life from the drops of sweat from the forehead of Shiva falling at the roots of a Kadamba tree. Another legend states Mayurasharma was born of Rudra (a form a Shiva) and the mother earth under an auspicious ''Kadamba'' tree and that he was born with a third eye on his forehead. According to yet another tale, Mayurasharma was born to the sister of a Jain tirthankara under a ''Kadamba'' tree. It appears that all these legends evolved so as to present the founder of the kingdom as a demi-god.〔Moraes (1931), pp7-8〕
The Talagunda inscription of 450 is considered the most reliable source of information about the family of Mayurasharma and the origin of the Kingdom. The inscription is known to be free of legends, giving a realistic and true account of the Kadamba line of kings.〔Rice in Moraes (1931), p15〕 According to the inscription, Mayurasharma was a ''Vaidika'' Brahmin scholar and a native of Talagunda. He was the son of Bandhushena, grandson of his ''guru'' (teacher) Veerasharma and a student at the ''Agrahara'' (place of learning) in Talagunda.〔〔〔Ramesh (1984), p3〕 The inscription confirms the family is named for the ''Kadamba'' tree that grew near the family home. It is further claimed that they were a Kannadiga Dravidian family inducted into the Brahminic fold as was popular in the medieval times.〔There is no sound historical basis or inscriptional evidence to prove a northern origin or a southern migration of the ancestors of the Kadambas (Moraes 1931, p17)〕 The Gudnapur inscription further confirms Mayurasharma's parentage and that he acquired the character of a Kshatriya.〔
