: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): (Jainism)

Caulukya (चौलुक्�) refers to a royal dynasty, according to the 12th century Yogaśāstra (verse 12.55) by Hemacandra: a Jain treatise dealing with Yoga and the highest reality (tattva).—Accordingly, “[This] Upaniṣad of Yoga, which is a cause of wonder in the mind of the assembly of the wise, was known from scripture, from the mouth of a good Guru and a little from experience in various places. Because of the profuse requesting of the Caulukya king (śīܱܰⲹ), Kumārapāla, it was placed in the realm of words by his teacher, the honourable Hemacandra. [...]�.

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.

Caulukya (चौलुक्�) (or ܰ첹) refers to an ancient dynasty of Gujarat, as is mentioned in the վ󲹳īٳ󲹰첹貹 by Jinaprabhasūri (13th century A.D.): an ancient text devoted to various Jaina holy places (īٳ󲹲).—List of the eleven Caulukya kings of which Aṇahilapura was the capital: Mūlarāja, Cāmuṇḍarāja, Vallabharāja, Durlabha, Bhīmadeva, Karṇa, Jayasiṃha, Kumārapāla, Ajayapāla, Bālamūlarāja, Bhīmadeva.

Note: List of Caulukya of վ󲹳īٳ󲹰첹貹 is the same in the Ratnamālā (JBBRAS IX p. 33-34); Cāmuṇḍarāja is missing in the Therāvali (JBBRAS IX p. 155). The names of the last two rulers are Laghubhīma and Arṇorāja in the KP (= Kumārapālaprabodhaprabandha ?) (101.18-19).—The list of վ󲹳īٳ󲹰첹貹 is corroborated by nos . 4-10 of the “Grants of the Aṇhilvād Caulukya� in Bühler IA VI p. 180-214. Epigraphic evidence is abundant for the Caulukya dynasty: for other references, cf. p. ex. Ray 1936 II p. 933-1051 and Sankalia 1941 p. 36-41.
