Siribhoovalaya- Siribhoovalaya Information
Siribhoovalaya is a unique work of literature written by Kumudendu Muni, a Jain monk, who was born in Karnataka. The work is unique because it is written in numerals not alphabet, and no other such manuscript known to exist. The first President of independent India called it the eighth wonders of world due to its uniqueness and hiding so much literature in its short form.
To find out the contents of a chakra, one has to read it in a particular format or pattern. There are 1270 chakras in all, hiding, it is believed, more than six lakh verses. Kumudendu Muni has himself indicated the pattern hidden in many of the chakras. The patterns, or bandhas , have various names, such as, Chakrabandha , Hamsabandha, Sagarabandha , Mayurabandha and so on.
To enjoy the contents of a chakra, a reader has to decipher the pattern, write down the numerals as per the pattern, decode the numerals by substituting the letters for them and read the verse. To make things more complex, one chakra may even have verses hidden in several patterns. For example, if you read the last letter in every line, vertically, it may yield a verse in Telugu. On the other hand, if you read every third letter in a line, horizontally, you may end up reading a verse in Tamil or even Prakrit . It is said that from the 1270 chakras given, using different reading patterns, more than ten times as many chakras can be created!
But before all this materializes, two tasks have to be completed. First of all, more information and more authentic information has to be unearthed about this Kumudendu Muni (or Yathi). Who was he? To what age and what place did he belong? These questions must find acceptable answers. His date is particularly important. In his lengthy preface to the first edition, Karlamangalam Srikantaiah says the work might have been composed in around 800 A.D. Dr. Venkatachala Sastry, in his lengthy introduction to the latest edition, is of the view that the author belonged to a village called Yalavalli near Nandidurga in Chikkaballapura Taluk in Kolar District.
He places the work in the 1550-1600 period and suggests it might be even more recent. (Prof. S.K.Ramachandra Rao says that the component Bhu' means all existing creatures' and valaya' means circle', and that the title suggests that the work concerns all living creatures of the earth.)
The contents of SiriBhoovalaya, it is said, not only tease the brain by engaging it in coding and deciphering, like an exacting version of Sudoku or Crossword, they also entertain with Hindu and Jain classics, poems in Tamil, Telugu, Marathi and other languages besides Kannada, and educate about various shastras, or sciences, such as astronomy, ayurveda and even alchemy and weapon production!
