General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Jainism础尘尘腻 (啶呧ぎ啷嵿ぎ啶�) is another name for Ammak膩 (or Ammay膩): the mother of Puru峁si峁僪a: the fifth V膩sudeva (鈥渧iolent heroes鈥�) according to both 艢vet膩mbara and Digambara sources. The stories of queen Ammay膩, king 艢iva and their son, Puru峁si峁僪a are related in texts such as the Tri峁峁ａ弓i艣al膩k膩puru峁carita (鈥渢he lives of the sixty-three illustrious persons鈥�), a twelfth-century 艢vet膩mbara work by 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, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
India history and geography
: What is India: Epigraphia Indica volume XXXI (1955-56)Amma II (r. 945 A.D.) or Ammar膩ja II (also known as Vijay膩ditya VI) is the name of an ancient king mentioned in the 鈥淢膩峁単allu grant of Amma II鈥� (c. 945 A.D.). In 945 A.D Amma II (Vijay膩ditya VI), the son of C膩lukya Bh墨ma III by Lok膩mbik膩, came to the throne. His accession took place in 艢aka 867, M膩rga艣墨r峁 ba. 13, Friday, corresponding to the 5th December 945 A.D. He was then twelve years of age, and he had been crowned four years earlier. Amma II is stated to have been born with a tissue round his neck which resembled a ka峁囜弓hik膩 (ornament for the neck), and crowned at the express request of all people., This seems to indicate that, though but a boy, Amma II was chosen as king in preference to his half-brother D膩n膩r峁嘺va who was the elder of the two.
These copper plates (mentioning Amma) were dug up somewhere in the Nandigama Taluk, Krishna District. It records the gift, at the instance of a feudatory chief named K膩katya Gu峁囜笉yana, of the village of M膩峁単allu in favour of a Br膩hma峁嘺 named Dommana.
