Intricacy of Certain Verses of Āryabhaṭīya and Jain Tradition Identifīcation of Aśmaka as Śravaṇabeḷagoḷa-Camravattam Jain Country
2008
Overview
The conclusions that got derived from astronomical considerations about the homeland of Ārybhaṭa viz. Camravattam (10N51, 75E45) is shown to receive additional support from the socio-cultural factors related to the Jaina tradition in Kerala and South India. It is shown that the Asmaka referred to by Bhāskara-I is the South Indian Jain settlement around Śravaṇabeḷagoḷa (12N51, 76E29) and Dharmasthala (12N53, 75E23) - place receiving the name Asmaka in Jaina canons because of the great stone monoliths at the place. A number of circumstantial evidences have been adduced in support of the above conclusions: (a) Verse 9 of Kālakriyā giving the Jaina 12 fold division of Yuga (b) Verse 5 of Daśagītikā which speaks of Bharata, the first Universal emperor of Jains who accessed the throne from the ĀdināthaṚṣabhadeva at the beginning of Apasarpiṇi Kaliyuga. Āryabhaṭaâs rejection of the 4:3:2:1 cycle of Kṛtādi yugas based on the Smṛtis provide attestation to the new interpretation attempted of the verse (c) Verse 11 of Gola referring to Nandana-vana and Meru represents terminology borrowed from Tiloyapannatti of Jains (d) References to Brahma the primordial deity of Jains in verses 1 of Ganita and 49, 50 of Gola (e) Use of Kali Era having the distinct signature of Āryabhaṭa for the first time in South India with the Aihole inscription of the Cālukya King Pulakeśi-II. Legendary and symbolic account of the derivation of 24 R sines and R cosines in analogy with the rolling up of a stone to achieve height (Rsinea) and then leaving the same to roll down in ease is explained as evidence for the origination of the use of sines with Āryabhaṭa in Kerala. Also effort has been made to review the major conclusions on the homeland of Āryabhaṭa and the controversy on the identity of Aśmaka. Aihole as Āryapura suggests the possibility that the town may have been originally named after Āryabhaṭa or may be the place where he may have attained liberation later in his life as a Jain saint.
