magnified into general persecution the attack on the Jains by Kamarila, in Siva’s town or Rudra-pir, as seen in the 8th or 9th century in Sankara literature. In Hindu theology Kamarila “figures as a teacher of the later Mimansa philosophy, which ascribes the universe to a divine act of creation, and a umes an all-powerful God as the cause of the existence, continuance, and di olution of the world,” The “one existent and universal soul” is Advaita, or “ without a second ”—-as opposed to the bisexual system, Sankfr-acharya was the disciple of Kamarila, who ig said to have committed his own body to the flames in his presence.
